North Bay watersheds salmonid monitoring program: a standard for the central coast

This program focuses on monitoring and restoring salmonid populations in the North Bay watersheds of the Central Coast. It is scientifically sound, fiscally minimalist, and collaboratively developed with stakeholders. The program monitors species and life stages in key watersheds and streams, providing valuable information for management and restoration efforts.

Presentation Transcript

  1. North Bay watersheds salmonid monitoring program: a standard for the central coast Gordon Becker, Senior Scientist Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration (CEMAR)

  2. Critical concepts • Functional—informs management and advances restoration • Fundable—scientifically sound, fiscally minimalist • Collaborative—stakeholder based, regionally compatible

  3. Basic assumptions • Monitoring methods • Watersheds/streams • Species/life stages monitored • Staffing

  4. Monitoring program watersheds

  5. Focusing restoration attention: San Francisco Bay Area Eight “anchor” watersheds  75 percent of regional habitat 18 “essential” streams  75 percent of anchor habitat > 50 percent total regional habitat in 18 streams

  6. Species of concern

  7. Juvenile O. mykiss

  8. Steelhead smolt

  9. Where do our spawners originate?

  10. Corte Madera monitoring site

  11. Corte Madera Creek site

  12. Resistance board schematic

  13. Resistance board weir (side view)

  14. Sonoma Creek monitoring site

  15. Napa River monitoring sites

  16. u/s from Napa R. screw trap site

  17. typ. Napa R. site (Redwood Ck.)

  18. Program essentials TBD • Scope of program—additional element informing population life history strategy? • Monitoring lead—who’s on the permit? • Information management—what organization will have/use the data?
