Scott River Coho Spawning Ground Survey Project 2023-2025

The Contractor will conduct The Annual Scott River Coho Salmon Spawning Ground Surveys (Project), within the Scott River and its tributaries for three years during the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025 runs. During October and November annually, the Contractor will coordinate with landowners to gain property access to complete the
surveys. The Contractor will provide the resources to conduct landowner outreach, spawning surveys to collect spawning distribution data (range and relative density), run data (sex ratio, age composition, hatchery contribution) and biological data (length, prespawn mortality, samples) of Coho Salmon. This project is part of the larger MidKlamath Cooperative Spawning Ground Surveys and is essential to assessing the effects of restoration actions and water management on several imperiled fish species in the Scott River and the larger Klamath River Basin.
