Description    


The term of the project was July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022. Monitoring included regional spawning surveys and life cycle monitoring in coastal Mendocino County. We conducted spawning ground surveys from November through May, to estimate redd and adult abundance at regional, diversity strata, and independent population levels. Access agreements were established with landowners in October and November 2021. Spawning surveys and daily operation of the fixed station adult fish traps at SF Noyo River Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) station began in Oct 2021 and continued through May 2022. Smolt trapping was conducted on SF Noyo River from March 2022 through mid-June 2022. Maintenance and data retrieval from PIT tag arrays occurred from October 2021 through June 2022. Final reporting results include redd and adult abundance estimates for spawning season 2021?22; smolt abundance estimates for Coho Salmon and steelhead; and measures of freshwater and marine survival for Coho Salmon.

Project Benefit    


Federal and state listings of these salmonids require monitoring to provide measures of recovery. Information provided by this monitoring effort is critical for maintaining continuity of long-term datasets to inform recovery efforts.
