Description

Greenwater River is part of the White/Puyallup basin which contributes spring Chinook salmon and is one of the more important producers to the overall goal of the White River System. This project will monitor natural production from spring Chinook emigrating from the Greenwater River. In addition to the natural production, acclimation ponds for both spring Chinook and steelhead are operated in the Greenwater River. We will use a rotary trap to collect emigrating juvenille salmonids. We expect to collect enough data on spring Chinook, coho and pink salmon to generate statistically valid estimates of abundance. We also expect to encounter juvenile steelhead and will estimate their abundance if data allows.

Project Benefit

The purpose of the project is to estimate juvenile abundance of spring Chinook and coho salmon on even years (e.g. 2020, 2021, 2022, etc.) in Greenwater River.
