Effectiveness monitoring of a randomized selection of 10% of Fisheries Habitat Restoration (Fisheries Restoration Grants Program and Forest Land Anadromous Restoration) habitat restoration projects in the North Coast Hydrologic Region. Survey assesses the effectiveness of habitat restoration projects and treatment types based on qualitative assessment ratings of habitat response from a sample of individual treatment features for a range of project types. Survey assesses the effectiveness of given treatment types through both qualitative ratings and quantitative metrics evaluated both pre- and post-restoration project implementation. 6.276 MB This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000236.

MESHR has been testing an approach focused on habitat metrics and fish response for determining effectiveness of large wood treatments. Data is collected using an adapted protocol from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board (Crawford 2011) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Kaufmann et al. 1999) to methodically measure habitat characteristics in stream reaches for a subsample of large wood installation projects using a Before-After, Control-Impact (BACI) study design. Large wood, residual water and pool depths, percent occurrence of particular substrates, substrate embeddedness, fish cover, and snorkel validation data are documented. 1.092 MB.

This data documents fish response to fish passage and instream habitat restoration treatments. Juvenile salmonid snorkel surveys are conducted pre-treatment and post-treatment. Pool dimensions (length and width), maximum residual pool depth, temperature, flow, and water quality data are also recorded. Minnow traps are deployed in the vicinity of restoration treatments when stream conditions or hazards prevent snorkel observations or where additional monitoring methods are deemed necessary to determine juvenile salmonid presence. Winter Salmonid spawner surveys of potential redds, adult spawners, and carcasses are also performed. Survey data includes a 0.038 MB Snorkel Survey database and a 0.043 MB Spawner Survey database.

Juvenile Coho Salmon abundance was measured for a before-after, control- impact (BACI) analysis of restoration effectiveness. Analyses evaluated the effectiveness of Phase I habitat restoration at increasing Coho Salmon abundance. These analyses include three years of pre-treatment and three years of post-treatment monitoring data for each monitoring metric. The resulting report includes Juvenile Reach Level Abundance Estimates, Pre- and Post-Treatment Comparison of Reach-Scale Abundance (T-tests), BACI Models to Test for Treatment Effects, and Production of juvenile Coho Salmon estimated for: (1) the watershed upstream of the upper trap, and (2) the watershed upstream of the lower trap. Seasonal patterns of juvenile Coho Salmon movement, growth, residence time, and survival within the project reach were compared across years to assess whether these variables were influenced by implementation of Phase I restoration. Data were collected as detailed in Stillwater Sciences (2023). Report available upon request. Stillwater Sciences. 2023.

Fish catch, invertebrate catch, and water quality data from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta collected by the Fish Restoration Monitoring Program, 2015-2017. The Fish Restoration Program Monitoring Team is tasked with monitoring fish and food web resources in restored tidal wetland sites. These restored sites are located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh pursuant to requirements in the 2008/2009 Biological Opinions for state and federal water project operations. Data on fish and invertebrate abundance on or near these sites was collected as baseline monitoring data and to determine the most efficient methods for monitoring wetlands.

1) The purpose of this project is to measure changes in juvenile salmon habitat occurrence and health following restoration activities at the Mirror Lake Complex and Horsetail Falls in the Lower Columbia River and estuary. Parameters measured include habitat conditions such as vegetation, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen; salmon diet and prey availability; weight, length, growth rate, lipid content, genetic stock, and chemical contaminant exposure. 2) Lyndal Johnson (NWFSC FTE) is the project lead, and other primary staff involved are Sean Sol and Paul Olson (NWFSC FTEs) and Kate Macneale (NWFSC term employee), but the project also involves other NWFSC FTEs, other term employees, contractors, and staff from other programs (Environmental Chemistry) and Divisions (FE, CB), as well as staff from collaborating agencies (e.g., the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership). 3) The project involves field surveys in which parameters measured include habitat conditions such as vegetation, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen; salmon diet and prey availability; weight, length, growth rate, lipid content, genetic stock, and chemical contaminant exposure. 4) Specific products to be produced include annual reports for the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, and manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. 5) Specific audiences include (but are not limited to) the Bonneville Power Administration and other federal, state, and local agencies involved with salmon recovery and environmental management in the Columbia Basin (e.g., EPA, Washington Department of Ecology, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the City of Portland), the NMFS regional office, and other agency and academic scientists. 6) This is a stand-alone project, but it is also a component of a larger action effectiveness monitoring program overseen by the Estuary Partnership. 7) This is an ongoing project with a soft completion deadline; however, there are specific tasks to be completed on a yearly basis. Juvenile chinook salmon diet composition and prey availability in habitat.

The California Monitoring Plan (CMP) salmonid monitoring areas and associated population data are part of an ongoing effort to summarize existing and past salmonid monitoring efforts in the areas identified by Adams et al. 2011. These data are compiled and maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife with the cooperation of monitoring practitioners. Updates and associated outreach are intended to occur on an annual basis. Data were created from several sources and existing datasets: some monitoring areas were accurately depicted using the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), other monitoring areas were approximated using the monitoring point location and the USGS StreamStats tool to depict the watershed area above that point. The areas are intended to represent the approximate extent of sampling within sub-basins, watershed areas, or regions. For example, the spatial extent of monitoring using a fixed count station is approximated by accounting for all anadromous fish habitat upstream of the sampling location. Therefore, the area is approximated by entering the monitoring location coordinates into the StreamStats tool. The resulting shapefile is then examined to ensure the watershed area did not include habitat above dams or barriers to migration. Areas were clipped when needed. The data user should recognize that errors may have occurred during production of this dataset, changes may have occurred to the external sources used post transfer, and for other possible reasons. The population metrics summarized in the associated tabular data may be regarded as spatially limited, temporally limited, and not considered a complete estimate for the population being described. The data user is advised to refer to the annual reports cited in the Source field from the tabular data for additional details regarding monitoring within the area spatially depicted.Abbreviation Definitions: SGS = Spawning Ground Survey, RM = River Mile, RST = Rotary Screw Trap, RKM = River Kilometer, FCS = Fixed Count Station, STH = Steelhead, CC = Coastal Chinook, DS = Downstream
