Description
Willits Creek is part of the Middle Mainstem Eel watershed which is a core, functionally independent population within the Interior Eel River diversity stratum. Coho in the Middle Mainstem Eel watershed are at a high risk of extinction, Willits Creek and Mill Creek appear to be streams where coho could make a comeback. This project designed plans for habitat along 9,350 feet of Willits creek.
Project Benefit
The project objective is the development of design plans for a Large Woody Debris (LWD) project along 9,350 feet of Willits Creek.

Description and scope of the plan implemented | |
Engineers and restorationist will assess the stream channel and determine beneficial locations for LWD, as well as numbers of LWD structures and types of LWD structures that would best meet implementation project objectives. These LWD structures will provide velocity refugia and shelter for coho salmon. The structures will also be designed to scour and deepen pools, to sort and capture spawning substrate, and increase habitat complexity by recruiting additional woody debris. SONCC Task MMER.2.1.2.2 will be accomplished in the next phase of the project, which is implementation of LWD structure designs. |
