  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Curry Watersheds Partnerships 2014 Spawning Surveys Abstract -- The Curry Watersheds Partnership (Curry SWCD and South Coast and Lower Rogue watershed councils) conducted salmon spawning surveys on 14 stream reaches in the winter of 2014-15. The surveys took place on small streams that have been the focus of past and/or planned restoration projects, primarily aimed at coho. These surveys are not typically covered by ODFW, and prior to the spawning season the Curry Watersheds Partnership coordinated with ODFW to ensure there was no duplication of effort.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Using an Exempted Fishing Permit for a Large-scale Test of a Selective Flatfish Trawl in the Continental Shelf Flatfish Fishery Abstract -- The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center of NOAA conducted an Exempted Fishing Permit fishery test of a new selective flatfish trawl to estimate bycatch rates in the continental shelf flatfish fishery. Eight vessels participated, with observer coverage from May through October 2003. The trawl performed well and reductions in bycatch observed were consistent with the effects previously demonstrated in the controlled experiments. We recommend that a flatfish target fishery using this trawl be developed for use on the continental shelf off the west coast as a mechanism to reduce bycatch of some critical rockfish species.

The lake is totally within the Winema National Forest. There are two large campgrounds and a day-use area, each with a developed boat ramp; a resort; three organization camps; and numerous summer homes - all administered by the Klamath Ranger District of the Winema National Forest. In August 1982, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Lake of the Woods for wild and hatchery fish.

To accomplish these objectives, various types of gear were tested for their ability to catch shad selectively, and adult and juvenile shad from several different sources were sampled for biological information.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coos Bay Crabbing and Clamming detailed spatial data Abstract -- Coos Bay is Oregon's largest estuary with the most active shipping port between San Francisco and the Columbia River. Coos Bay affords robust shellfish harvesting opportunities important to the area’s economy and identity. Proposed industrial development is likely to make direct and indirect changes to areas currently used for shellfish harvest. Appropriate mitigation for these changes can be aided by estimation of summarized use (this document and Ainsworth et al. (2012)) and in greater detail by using spatially explicit data for these activities. In this investigation, we obtained geospatial data on the activity of clammers (people actively clamming) and crabbers (locations of crab buoys). Other shellfish harvest is common (e.g., dock crabbing, bait shrimp, etc.) in Coos Bay, but not evaluated in this study. Methods ODFW performs low tide clam creel surveys which enumerate use by area, lumping counts in to one of eight areas within Coos Bay. In this study, we enhanced these counts by recording specific location data onto aerial photo maps. We matched landmarks on the aerial photos to best estimate position of each working clammer during these surveys. After these data were recorded onto paper maps, the points were transferred to ArcGIS manually. It is our expectation that by using these methods, these data are accurate to within 100 meters. Areas up-bay from the airport were not included as they are used far less frequently and could not be sampled due to time constraints. Those areas are primarily eastern softshell (Mya arenaria) beds within North Slough, Glasgow, Kentuck, and other areas. We captured geospatial data for crab buoys by recording position of individual buoys throughout the year. We selected survey times haphazardly, when timing was convenient for staff schedules. We used the 22’ boat R/V Ophiodon to drive along each side of the bay 87 searching for crab buoys. We drove within 50 meters of each pot and recorded a position using GPS, then later uploaded it to the dataset. Summarized recreational crab harvest data by area and year is available on a preceding study (Ainsworth et al. 2012). https://nrimp.dfw.state.or.us/CRL/Reports/Info/2012-04.pdf Title: Coos Bay Crabbing and Clamming detailed spatial data Abstract -- Coos Bay is Oregon's largest estuary with the most active shipping port between San Francisco and the Columbia River.
