  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Mann Lake 1980 Abstract -- Mann Lake is a shallow, productive, natural lake on the east side of Steens Mountain, about 38 airline mi north of Fields and 65 airline mi southeast of Burns at an elevation of 4,200 ft. Road access is via east Steens County Road. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages the land surrounding the lake, except for a small tract on the southern end. In September 1980, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage Mann Lake with hatchery cutthroat trout. They also adopted regulations restricting terminal tackle to artificial flies and lures with barbless hooks and a daily bag of 2 trout, minimum length of 18 inches.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Natural Resource Conflict Management 1982 Abstract -- This Handbook was used for a series of workshops on Natural Resource Conflict Management held jointly by the USDA, Forest Service and USDI9 Bureau of Land Management in 1982. It was written by Romcoe, Center for Environmental Problem Solving, Boulder, Colorado. It is intended for people who are new to the field of conflict management as well as for experienced practitioners. The field of natural resource conflict management is comparatively new, so the insight, procedures, techniques and theory have been gathered from many disciplines and areas where dispute resolution has been more highly developed. This includes international peacemaking experience, organizational development processes and skills, labor-management relations, community dispute settlement procedures and academic research in social psychology. Although the literature in the field is limited, the experience and practice of natural resource conflict management have been extensive. This workbook draws together some of the theory and techniques that have been successful in environmental conflicts and may be helpful to the person who handles natural resource disputes on a day-to-day basis.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Neacoxie Watershed Abstract -- Previously, little information was known about the ecology or the condition of native habitats in the Neacoxie sub-watershed that drains from the city of Warrenton into the north section of the Necanicum Estuary in the city of Seaside. In 2002, the Necanicum Watershed Council completed an assessment for the Necanicum River watershed, but with major knowledge gaps for the Neacoxie watershed, which includes the Neacoxie Creek corridor and the Clatsop Plains. In order for the North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) and other land managers to develop stewardship priorities and to make informed decisions about land management actions in this region, additional information was required. Together with the Necanicum Watershed Council and the North Coast Watershed Association, NCLC secured funding to conduct habitat inventories of the Neacoxie watershed. The Neacoxie Watershed Assessment summarizes the results of terrestrial plant transects and aquatic plant surveys completed in the summer of 2011 on ten properties owned by the North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) in the Neacoxie Creek watershed (please refer to Appendices A & B). Habitat types include stabilized sand dunes dominated by coastal prairie habitat, interdunal wetland swales and lakes, upland Sitka spruce forest, and forested wetlands. Percent composition of each plant community type observed was calculated. Invasive non-native plant species were recorded. Surveys were also conducted for both native and non-native plants in four water bodies owned by NCLC or adjacent to land trust properties. The plant community data that were collected will be used to evaluate baseline ecological conditions in the Neacoxie watershed. Plant communities can be used as indicators of long-term tidal and hydrologic conditions as well as the ecological health of the landscape. Repeated measurements can be used to assess community changes over time and to assess how plant community composition compares to that described for natural conditions. This information will assist the land trust in making science-based stewardship decisions on its properties, and can be used by other landowners to better understand changes occurring in plant communities in similar habitats on their properties as a result of human disturbance (e.g., land development, farming, grazing) and invasion by non-native plants.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lower Umpqua Watershed Analysis, 1997 Abstract -- This analysis of the Lower Umpqua River watershed (2% of the total Umpqua River drainage area) in the southern Coast Range includes watershed characterization, issues, inherent landscape instability, aquatic species' habitat and population, terrestrial species' habitat and population, and restoration opportunities. This analysis was conducted by Siuslaw National Forest personnel with assistance from the Bureau of Land Management - Coos Bay District. The analysis was focused on fisheries and wildlife issues. The existing resource conditions were compared to expected natural conditions to assess trends in resource conditions. From this information, a strategy of restoration opportunities to enhance resource conditions on federal lands was developed. Watershed Analysis is one of the key components of the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS) developed for the Northwest Forest Plan (NFP) (USDA-USDI 1994). The analysis is intended to facilitate watershed planning that: 1) achieves Aquatic Conservation Strategy and Late-Successional Reserve objectives and 2) provides the basis for monitoring and restoration programs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lamprey Abstract -- The majority of scientific studies on lamprey have investigated biological attributes, with few studies investigating historic abundance, detailed distribution and specific ecological requirements and role. Because of the paucity of information and concerns of declining lamprey population in the Pacific Northwest, the Applegate River Watershed Council (ARWC) with the Medford District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) collaborated to study lamprey populations in the Applegate River watershed of southwest Oregon (Close et al. 1995, Larson & Belchik 1998, Kostow 2002). The objectives of the study included: (1) Identifying species composition; (2) determining the distribution of lamprey species; and (3) relating the distribution of lamprey ammocoetes (juveniles or larvae) to physical stream characteristics. This paper summarizes the life histories of the two most common lamprey species in the Oregon, the Pacific (Lampetra tridentata) and Western Brook (Lampetra richardsoni), details the methods of study, reports the results and summarizes the findings. Also included are recommendations and suggestions for future lamprey work in the Applegate basin.

The primary purpose of this monitoring is to study the affects that stream habitat modification has on the freshwater survival and abundance of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). This work has been partially funded by the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Salem District Office since 1996. The purpose of this report is to provide BLM with an update of ODFW’s sampling in East Fork and Upper Mainstem Lobster Creek during the 2001-02 sampling season and to put these data in context with past data collected by ODFW.
