Description    


This project entailed the continuing collection and assessment of critical stock data in the Tribes priority streams along the Eastern Straits to determine salmon escapement, abundance and productivity. The information also informed the Tribes stream habitat, restoration, and water quality planning programs. Continuing tasks included: (a) monitoring for Coho, Steelhead and Cutthroat smolts via targeted trapping efforts Dungeness Watershed streams; (b) tracking fin-clipped smolts out-migrating from Matriotti Creek to inform Dungeness wild salmonid production estimates (in partnership with WDFW); and (c) conducting spawning ground surveys (including redd, spawner, and carcass counts) in Dungeness River and its tributaries. During surveys, staff also tracked stream conditions/impacts of drought.

Project Benefit    


Smolt trap monitoring efforts will allow us to continue assessing juvenile salmon production and migration patterns within these streams. Spawning ground surveys provides a continuous (multi-year) evaluation tool, and they, along with smolt trapping, are essential for measuring and tracking overall salmon abundance, productivity, escapement, as well as numerical trends in the Tribes area of interest. This information also informs the Tribes stream habitat, restoration, and water quality planning programs.
