Description

Monitor fish use of eight salt marsh restoration projects across the Siletz and Yaquina estuaries. Project focus will be to examine the efficacy of various salt marsh restoration methods used by government agencies, watershed councils and NGOs. Monitoring will cover hourly fish use patterns relative to habitat available across tidal cycles. Monitoring will examine fish use patterns relative to dike removal method, tide gate presence, marsh watershed structure, channel morphologies, channel elevations, salinity mixing patterns, temperature patterns, marsh plant community structure and species distributions.

Project Benefit

Benefits include an improved understanding of efficacy of current restoration methods used by state and federal agencies.

Description of monitoring
Significant findings, related to dike removal, channel restoration methods (required dike and channel elevations as well as large wood placement) and salmon use have occurred - improved methods have been utilized at nine restoration projects on the Oregon coast.
