Description
The South Coast Regions Southern California Steelhead Restoration and Recovery (SCSRR) project will monitor southern steelhead within the Santa Monica Mountain Biogeographic Population Group (SMM BPG) following methodologies outlined in Fish Bulletin 180 and 182. To meet recommended targets of estimation for steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Santa Monica Mountains, monitoring efforts will include operation of a Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) on Topanga Creek in addition to summer electrofishing surveys and winter redd surveys on Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) selected sample frame reaches. Operation of the Topanga Creek LCM station will continue the longest running southern steelhead sampling program (2000 to present) and is comprised of a Dual Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) sonar camera, and Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag antenna, redd, snorkel, and electrofishing surveys.
Project Benefit
The objective of this project is to address the Department?s Steelhead Restoration and Management Plan for California?s task SC-09-400-02: Design and/or implement monitoring projects consistent with Fish Bulletin 180, the CCMP for focal watersheds (DFG 1996). This will be accomplished by continuing monitoring efforts needed to satisfy data requirements for monitoring goals outlined by Fish Bulletin 180 and 182, specifically with regards to the VSP parameters including adult abundance, productivity, spatial distribution, and diversity using methods consistent with those described by the CMP.
