Description    


Contractor Larry Lestelle (Biostream Environmental) was hired and accomplished the following objectives
1. Identified spawner and smolt abundance patterns and trends;
2. Diagnosed environmental factors affecting smolt yield patterns and trends;
3. Identified priorities for habitat restoration/enhancement; and
4. Formulated elements of a restoration and enhancement strategy.
Contractor completed a report titled Strategic Priorities for Habitat Management to Improve the Freshwater Performance of Queets Coho Salmon.
Simultaneously, two datalogger units were purchased and QDFi staff logged GPS data for sites in the Queets watershed.

Project Benefit    


This project will result in a concise, science-based strategy and plan for coho salmon habitat restoration in the Queets River System. This will make progress toward our ultimate objective to increase the overall natural capacity of the Queets System to produce coho salmon and continuing restoration of a chronically weak stock through addressing limiting factors by improving habitat utilized by coho at the juvenile and adult life stages.

Obtaining GPS data for the Queets river system will commence filling a long-term goal of QIN to include fish habitat and habitat restoration activities in the Nations Geographical Information Systems database, and will directly enhance the Queets coho restoration plan developed under this award.
