Grant Description

Spawning escapement surveys are conducted by the Karuk Fisheries Program annually in the mainstem Klamath River from Iron Gate Dam down river to Happy Camp and in cooperation with the Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office (FWO). Surveys collect data regarding wild Chinook spawning escapement in the mainstem. Survey crews float reaches of the mainstem river locating, counting and mapping fish and redd locations. The data collected and annual report generated by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is used in the determination of harvest levels for the management of Klamath River Fall Chinook stocks by the Klamath Fisheries Management Council. Project funding historically was provided partially by the Klamath River Restoration Task Force and the Klamath Restoration Act of 1986. The 1986 Act expired in 2006 and Task Forceуs funding has ended, leaving a critical funding gap for the survey. The Tribe and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will work collaboratively during the 2014 survey.
