  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: 2012 Metolius Basin bull trout redd counts Abstract -- Bull trout are indigenous to the Metolius River basin; however, they were managed as a nuisance species due to their interactions with anadromous sportfish for several decades. In 1960, nuisance management of bull trout ended and protection of bull trout began in 1983 with mandatory catch and release regulations throughout the Metolius River basin. In 1986, the Department initiated annual redd counts for bull trout throughout the basin to document the species status. Redd surveys showed low spawning numbers, and the Department responded by closing all tributaries downstream of Lake Creek to fishing in 1994. A Threatened listing of Columbia River bull trout under the Endangered Species Act in 1998 followed the fishery closure (Fies et al. 1996 and Lohr et al. ####). Bull trout redd counts continue in the basin in accordance with the goals of the Native Fish Conservation Policy.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lower Tillamook Bay Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment Abstract -- This document describes a plan to improve water quality and fishery habitat within the Lower Tillamook Bay Watershed while improving the economic sustainability of the dairy and livestock industry. This plan will help the agricultural community meet the requirements under the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. The financial and technical assistance provided will offer the agricultural community the opportunity to accelerate efforts already underway through the Tillamook Bay National Estuary Study and other state and local programs (Oregon Plan, SB1010 plans, etc.). Proposed is the development and implementation of conservation plans on approximately 60 dairies, 22 heifer replacement operations and 34 other livestock operations. Plans will address resource concerns on farm headquarters, pasture and haylands, riparian areas and wetlands.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: 2012 Trapper Creek Redd surveys Abstract -- Odell Lake was once directly connected to the upper Deschutes River basin, but recent geologic activity severed this connection with the creation of Davis Lake. Despite a lack of connection to the Deschutes River, indigenous bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) subsist in Odell Lake. The Odell Lake bull trout are now the only natural adfluvial bull trout population in Oregon. Despite their persistence; angling mortality, habitat degradation, hybridization, and competition with introduced species limit bull trout populations. Bull trout were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1998 (Office of the Federal Register 63 [June 10, 1998]: 31647). ODFW has monitored this population closely by conducting weekly redd counts on an annual basis and mapping redd locations to identify areas of optimal spawning habitat in Trapper Creek.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: OASIS - Status of Oregon Coastal Stocks of Anadromous Salmonids, 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 Abstract -- This report provides an assessment of the status of adult anadromous salmonids inhabiting coastal basins of Oregon. Status is monitored through spawning surveys. Species or races monitored through these surveys are fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), chum salmon (O. keta) and steelhead (O. mykiss). Assessments cover through the 2001 brood year for salmon and the 2002 brood year for steelhead. Status is generally assessed along two levels of geographic aggregation: Evolutionary Significant Units (ESUs) and Gene Conservation Areas (GCAs) or Monitoring Areas (MAs). ESUs were defined by the National Marine Fisheries Service in conducting reviews for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. GCAs and MAs are usually subsets of ESUs and were defined by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife either as part of the implementation of the Wild Fish Management Policy or as part of monitoring associated with implementation of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon Coast Coho Habitat Assessment 1998-2003 Report Number: OPSW-ODFW-2005-5 Abstract -- In November 2003, the State of Oregon began a comprehensive review of coho and their habitat in NOAA Fisheries’ Oregon Coastal Coho Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU). The purpose of the review is threefold: 1) provide an analysis of the current status and trend in coho populations, their habitat, and related threats; 2) provide NOAA Fisheries with information it requires to determine whether formalized conservation efforts within the ESU justify not listing coho under the Endangered Species Act as outlined in their Policy for Evaluation of Conservation Efforts; and 3) provide information to state agencies, watershed councils, and others participating in the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (OPSW) so they may assess the success of their OPSW programs and modify them where necessary to better achieve their objectives (i.e. adaptive management). This report describes the current status and trend of instream physical habitat for coho in the ESU as well as summarizes and evaluates instream habitat restoration activities conducted from 1997-2003.
