Description    


This project continued monitoring in the Russian River watershed for Coho Salmon and steelhead. Spawning ground surveys, snorkel surveys, and life cycle monitoring occurred annually to generate adult and juvenile abundance estimates, redd abundance estimates, and occupancy rates.

FY2019 funds were spent within the award window, even though project completed outside of that window.

Project Benefit    


Federal and state listings of these salmonids require monitoring to provide information to track recovery. The data provided by this monitoring effort are critical for maintaining continuity of long-term datasets and to inform recovery efforts for Coho Salmon in one of the largest watersheds for Central California Coast Coho Salmon ESU and Northern California steelhead DPS.
