Coho Hold 2006
Two Phases • 1. Modify the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge to accept acoustic receivers for future studies • 2. Retrieve 2007 Narrows receivers
Benefits From Bridge Location • Mounts are designed to be long lasting • Shallow enough to be maintained by recreation divers (shallow)-Tribal, South Sound Dive Club, Tacoma Dive Schools • Educational component on WSDOT Bridge mitigation website
2008Proposed South Sound Wild Coho - 4 South Puget Sound Streams- Mill and Goldsborough- Hammersley Inlet; Sherwood-Case Inlet; Deschutes- Budd Inlet Netpen Coho- Peale Passage Wild Steelhead- Nisqually River
Release Sites 2006
Future Studies South Sound All wild and hatchery stocks tagged to identify- • Spatial bottlenecks for survival • Holding areas • Migratory corridors
Data Uses Prioritize restoration and preservation opportunities by affected population Hatchery release practices-timing and #’s Input to ecosystem based models Input to capacity models Input to life history models-FRAM assumes linear mortality
