Description    


This project supported ongoing smolt monitoring projects in the Strait of Juan de Fuca Watersheds. The Tribe installed fence weirs during spring out-migration to enumerate populations of coho salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout. Fiscal year 18 funding were scheduled to support smolt out-migration monitoring in 2020. However, because of Covid restrictions the traps were not installed in 2020. Those funds were instead used to support trapping in the spring of 2021.

Project Benefit    


Data from this project is used in multiple forums that are of regional or statewide significance. For fisheries management purposes abundance estimates of coho salmon and steelhead from the Strait of Juan de Fuca are used to generate run size estimates necessary to manage fisheries (PFMC process) that may impact those stocks. The data is also being used to evaluate long term restorations efforts in those watersheds. Salt Creek has been monitored for over a decade and has had extensive culvert blockage repairs within the last 5 years. East Twin River, West Twin River and Deep Creek are part of the Washington State Intensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) Program that is assessing effectiveness of watershed restoration at the watershed scale. This data is also critical to long term efforts to assess fish in and fish out and generate estimates of abundance and productivity.
