invested considerable effort in the development of effective indicators for assessment of biological condition of Wyoming streams. Much of the focus has been on developing and refining a statewide multimetric index (MMI) for Wyoming named the Wyoming Stream Integrity Index (WSII). Originally developed in 2000 and later revised in 2002, the WSII is based on macroinvertebrate community-level attributes or metrics designed to assess the degree to which biological communities are different from that expected to occur under reference or baseline conditions. The WSII is one of several tools the WDEQ/WQD uses to understand

  • A Case History of Urban Stream Restoration
    AQUATIC CONSERVATION: MARINE AND FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS, VOL. 2, 293-301 (1992) Strawberry Creek on the University of CaliJornia, Berkeley Campus: A case history of urban stream restoration ROBERT CHARBONNEAU Environmental Health and Safety, University of Calvornia, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA and VINCENT H. RESH Department of Entomological Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA ABSTRACT 1. Strawberry Creek (37’52’N; 122O15’W) is the major focus of open space on the University of California, Berkeley (Alameda County, California, USA) campus; it provides visual amenity and variety, riparian and wildlife habitat, and educational and recreational opportunities. 2. Since the beginning of this century, urbanization of the catchment, channel alteration and water quality degradation combined to cause deterioration of the creek’s habitat and overall environmental quality; this was manifested by a marked absence of flora and fauna, obvious water pollution and severe erosion. 3. In 1987 a restoration project was undertaken that focused on water-pollution and erosion- control measures. In 1989, native three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were successfully reintroduced. Family Biotic Index scores for the macroinvertebrate community indicated a change from the ‘poor’ water quality conditions in 1986 to ‘good’ water quality in 1991. 4. Environmental education programmes now involve over 1500 students who use the creek each year in laboratory exercises; a popular natural history and conservation walking-tour guidebook has also been prepared. 5. On-going restoration efforts include additional reintroductions of other native species, further environmental education efforts and monitoring. 6. Obstacles and key factors that led to the successful implementation of this project are presented to assist in implementing similar ecological restoration projects of urban streams.

  • Historical Status of Coho Salmon in Streams of the Urbanized San Francisco Estuary, California
    CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME California Fish and Game 91(4):219-254 2005 HISTORICAL STATUS OF COHO SALMON IN STREAMS OF THE URBANIZED SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY, CALIFORNIA ROBERT A. LEIDY1 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 [email protected] and GORDON BECKER Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration 4179 Piedmont Avenue, Suite 325 Oakland, CA 94611 [email protected] and BRETT N. HARVEY Graduate Group in Ecology University of California Davis, CA 95616 1Corresponding author ABSTRACT The historical status of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, was assessed in 65 watersheds surrounding the San Francisco Estuary, California. We reviewed published literature, unpublished reports, field notes, and specimens housed at museum and university collections and public agency files. In watersheds for which we found historical information for the occurrence of coho salmon, we developed a matrix of five environmental indicators to assess the probability that a stream supported habitat suitable for coho salmon. We found evidence that at least 4 of 65 Estuary watersheds (6%) historically supported coho salmon. A minimum of an additional 11 watersheds (17%) may also have supported coho salmon, but evidence is inconclusive. Coho salmon were last documented from an Estuary stream in the early-to-mid 1980s. Although broadly distributed, the environmental characteristics of streams known historically to contain coho salmon shared several characteristics. In the Estuary, coho salmon typically were members of three-to-six species assemblages of native fishes, including Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss, California roach, Lavinia symmetricus, juvenile Sacramento sucker, Catostomus occidentalis, threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, riffle sculpin, Cottus gulosus, prickly sculpin, Cottus asper, and/or tidewater goby, Eucyclogobius newberryi.

This hike highlights the land use decisions that have created the greenbelt of open space within easy reach of Berkeley’s vibrant communities. Location: Berkeley, CA Hike Length & Time: 6 miles, Allow 3-5 hours depending on your uphill speed Elevation Gain: 1000 ft Rating: Challenging Park Hours: No restrictions Other Information: Dogs on leash, no bikes on fire trails, kid friendly Getting There Driving: From Hwy 80/580 take the University Ave. exit and drive east toward the hills for about 2 miles to Shattuck Avenue. Turn right onto Shattuck and in 2 blocks you’ll hit Center Street where the hike begins. Street parking can be hard to find, and is limited to 2 hours (except Sunday). You can pay to park in garages on Addison and Center streets (go right off Shattuck), or in a parking lot on Kittredge Street (go left off Shattuck). Public Transit: This hike is easily accessible via AC Transit lines 40, 51, 64 and others, or via BART to the downtown Berkeley BART station. See www.bart.gov for train schedules or www.transitinfo.org for information on Alameda County Transit.
