Description
This project provided funding to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct three CMP projects in the Eel River Watershed:
1. The South Fork (SF) Eel River Adult Salmonid Abundance Monitoring Project;
2. The California Coastal Chinook Salmon Monitoring Project in the Main Stem Lower Eel River; and
3. Spatial Structure Survey in the Lower Eel-Van Duzen River
Project Benefit
The SF Eel River CMP project will monitor adult Coho Salmon abundance in the South Fork Eel River and is needed to evaluate both trends in population abundance as well as the population response to recovery projects implemented to treat limiting factors.
The Main Stem Eel River CMP project is needed to address the lack of monitoring data and a comprehensive monitoring plan for California Coastal (CC) Chinook Salmon. The lack of monitoring data has made it difficult to establish population status and trend and slowed the development of fishery assessment and recovery. The project will provide an Eel River CC Chinook escapement estimate to the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC), and this escapement will be directly used to evaluate ocean Chinook Salmon recreational fishery harvest management.
