Description

The purpose of this project was to understand the status and trends of salmonid populations within the Coastal Species Management Unit (SMU). This was achieved by conducting statistically-developed surveys of adult spawners over 877 miles. All populations of coho and steelhead were the primary targets for these surveys, but information for Chinook and chum salmon, and Pacific Lamprey was also collected. Data and information from this monitoring effort was used in annual reports, management and restoration decisions, and 4 unique publications.

PCSRF FFY2020, FFY2021, FFY2022 funds and ODFW state match to FFY 2021 and 2022 were expended on project costs incurred during the corresponding PCSRF FFY contract award periods.

Project Benefit

This project implements a component of ODFW’s Oregon Plan Monitoring Program by providing data on the status and trends in adult salmonid populations. Information provided by this adult monitoring will include: estimated number of adult spawners; proportion of hatchery fish in the natural spawning population; and information on spatial distribution, temporal distribution, and age composition. Results will be calculated at three nested spatial scales; the whole SMU/ESU, component strata, and/or each population. The data are critical for evaluating population status and will be used directly to target management and restoration priorities and actions. The Oregon Plan Monitoring Program continues a long term commitment to status and trend monitoring of adult and juvenile fish abundance and distribution, and stream habitat and riparian conditions. The monitoring data provide information about abundance, productivity, survival, distribution, and viability of salmon and steelhead in support of conservation and recovery planning and implementation.
