Identifying and Executing Stream Projects Kristin Thomas, Aquatic Ecologist MITU

Introduction 1. Methods for Identifying Projects 2. Methods in Action 3. The Partnership Paradigm 2

River Stewards Program Goals Identify factors limiting a coldwater fishery Identify projects to address limiting factors Evaluate project success Protecting high-quality streams 3

What factors may limit a coldwater fishery? What do trout need?

Limiting Factors Temperature Habitat Fishery population dynamics 5

Instream Habitat Evaluation What types of instream habitat do coldwater fish need? 6

Habitat Mapping Protocols and Results Premise Analyze in-stream habitat in an entire river, or section of river to identify factor limiting the fishery Run, riffle, pool structure Substrate composition In-stream fish habitat (woody debris, deep water, aquatic vegetation) 7

Protocols Walk/float downstream from access point to access point Measure each run, riffle, and pool Visually estimate substrate composition and fish habitat in each run, riffle, and pool Run Riffle Pool 8

Working with Partners 37

Completing the Project List Are there already stakeholder groups in the area? Do they already do stream work? Do they already have money? 38

Complete Projects Through Partners 1. Share data, reports, and ideas for priority projects. 2. Work through the group to identify specific projects and prioritization. 3. Getting quality work done is most important. 4. Who manages the project is less important. 39
