Description    


The South Coast Regions Southern California Steelhead Restoration and Recovery (SCSRR) project will monitor southern steelhead abundance, productivity, distribution, and diversity within the Ventura River watershed and the Conception Coast Biogeographic Population Group (CC BPG). This project is a continuation of a long-term LCM program along the Ventura River started in 2012 with an expansion into the remaining Monte Arido Highland watershed and the CC BPG to provide population level abundance data.

Project Benefit    


Following methodologies outlined in Fish Bulletin 182, we will continue the operation of a Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) station on the Ventura River, the selected backbone population of the Monte Arido Highlands BPG. The Ventura LCM has been operated since 2012 and serves as a focal point for methodology testing, estimates of freshwater productivity, and an indicator for ocean conditions. This site also has the added benefit of documenting impacts of ongoing restoration projects including removal of the Matilija Dam. The Ventura LCM consists of a fixed counting station, pit tag arrays, spawner surveys and low flow summer surveys.



Monitoring of the CC BPG will include operation of an LCM on Gaviota Creek in combination with BPG wide redd and low flow summer surveys as outlined in Fish Bulletin 182. Comprehensive monitoring of CC will allow SCSRR to provide population level abundance estimates needed by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
