1 National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Bring Back the Natives / More Fish Submit Final Programmatic Report (New Metrics) Grantee Organization: Kenai Watershed Forum Project Title: Stream Watch Volunteers: Protecting Alaska's Native Fish Project Period 4/01/ /27/2017 Project Location Description (from Proposal) Project Summary (from Proposal) This proposal is specific to Alaska's popular Kenai Peninsula. Volunteers complete hands-on river protection projects and share educational messages across the peninsula but focus predominately on the Kenai, Kasilof and Russian Rivers. The Kenai Peninsula is approximately the size of West Virginia. Support a staff person to help implement Stream Watch, a volunteer-driven program that provides fish habitat education while completing restoration projects on Alaska s Kenai Peninsula. The project will leverage agency efforts by monitoring popular fishing sites, installing plant protective fencing, removing litter, completing restoration projects, and educating the general public. Project Status and Accomplishments Project Summary: The Stream Watch is a volunteer-driven program that provides peer-to-peer cold water fish habitat education while completing on-the-ground fish habitat restoration projects on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. The benefits of the Stream Watch program for fish are vast in both proactive and reactive capacities for both long and short-term cold-water fish habitat protection. Stream Watch Volunteers monitor popular fishing sites, install and maintain riparian plant protective fencing, remove riverside litter, remove fish passage barriers, complete erosion control projects and provide riverside educational messages on fishing regulations and cold-water fish habitat protection to create life-long, knowledgeable habitat stewards. Stream Watch volunteers can participate as an Ambassador by committing to at least 24 hours of time each season, or through participation in a Stewardship Work Day where individuals, groups or businesses help with a one-day, river protection projects. Thanks to the support of NFWF funds, the Stream Watch Coordinators were able to leverage agency efforts and facilitate volunteers throughout the summers of 2016 and During this time frame, volunteers donated 2,700+ hours (equivalent to $75,000+ in match) to the Stream Watch Program. Utilizing the program s two-pronged approach to volunteer management (i.e. through our Ambassador Program and Stewardship Work Day Program), Stream Watch Ambassadors, organizations, and individual community members worked together to educate 6,800+ river users on fishing regulations and cold-water fish habitat protection and remove 5,500+ lbs. of trash and 150+ lbs. of fishing line from our rivers as can be seen below: Table 1: Season Combined Statistics Volunteer Contacts Trash(lbs.) Fishing Line(lbs.) Ambassadors Stewardship Days Hours Total Stream Watch Ambassador Program: In June of 2016 and 2017, the Stream Watch coordinators, funded through this grant, advertised and facilitated two orientations per season. During these orientations, volunteers were trained and oriented to be Stream Watch Ambassadors. Throughout the summer months, many of these Ambassadors scheduled shifts at our Stream Watch sites and came out for Stewardship Days. While volunteering at a Stream Watch site, Ambassadors complete a variety of tasks and track specific metrics to help assess the effectiveness of the program. With the assistance of a coordinator, Ambassadors will visit sites in groups of two or larger to provide riverside educational messages on fishing regulations and cold-water fish habitat protection to river users. While doing so, Ambassadors will also maintain riparian plant protective fencing, remove riverside litter, remove fish passage barriers, and manage our monofilament line recycling program. For more specific details, please see Table 2 and Table 3 which depict the collected seasonal metrics. Stream Watch Stewardship Day Program: While the Stream Watch Ambassadors are the core of the program, Stream Watch could not complete many projects without the assistance of organizations and community members. For many of the fencing, beach clean-up, and miscellaneous projects, Stream Watch Coordinators organize Stewardship Days to involve the broader community in our conservation efforts. During 2016 and 2017 Coordinators facilitated a total of 39 Stewardship Days where
2 Ambassadors, organizations, and community members alike worked together to protect and preserve sensitive Trout habitat. Due to these Stewardship Days, Stream Watch volunteers seasonally installed and removed 3.1 miles of habitat fencing, shared river stewardship information with 825 river users, and effectively prevented 4,792 lbs. of litter from entering fish habitat and potentially poisoning or entangling wildlife including trout. Many of these Stewardship Days were dedicated to installing and removing our temporary habitat fencing. Through the Stewardship Day Program, Stream Watch seasonally installed 3.1 miles of protective fencing along various sections of the Russian and Kenai Rivers during the spring of 2016 and 2017, which helps provide and protect habitat for thousands of Rainbow Trout. During the summers Stream Watch Coordinators maintained all of this fencing, along with the help of several volunteers and Kenai Watershed Forum interns, by checking for tears in fencing weekly and making repairs as needed in order to ensure that human foot traffic did not destroy riparian plants that protect trout habitat. During the fall Stream Watch Coordinators facilitate more Stewardship Days to remove the habitat fencing so materials are not damaged by the river freezing and river break-up come spring. Lessons Learned While the Stream Watch Program accomplished many things during the summer of 2016 and 2017, including but not limited to: preventing erosion into fish habitats, increasing the success of riparian plants for bank stabilization, and increasing the environmental awareness of the public, there is always room to improve. Based on feedback from volunteers, community members, and staff, the 2018 season will work towards improving the following: Increasing our advertising and educational reach through traditional and creative public engagement to facilitate an increase in Ambassadors for 2018 (specific strategies include tabling at Wednesday Music in the Park in Soldotna and creating educational videos including information of how to volunteer). Improving our interpretive materials by updating existing materials to ensure effective communication of river stewardship information. Improve our online presence by updating our website, continuing to improve our Facebook statistics, and creating an Instagram account. Thanks to the support of organizations like National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Stream Watch volunteers have been making a difference on the Kenai Peninsula since On behalf of the Stream Watch volunteers and our rivers, thank you for your generous support for the 2016 and 2017 seasons
