  • USFWS Outreach/Education FY2005 Protected Salmonid Survey/Angler Outreach Project Progress Report
    USFWS Outreach/Education FY2005 Protected Salmonid Survey/Angler Outreach Project Progress Report Cooperative Agreement # 134104 Report Date: March 24, 2008 Reporting Period: November 1, 2005–December 5, 2007 Project Rationale and Objectives In recent years, Wild Fish Conservancy has received reports from recreational anglers of observed violations of no-harvest rules for trout, salmon and char in the marine waters of Washington State. Such illegal take may be significantly compromising conservation efforts, and may stem in part from confusion about the geographic range of the fishery regulations or from misidentification of protected species as harvestable salmonids. To assist in the protection of the anadromous life-history forms of these fishes, this cooperative project has developed educational signage that alerts the public about state and federal harvest restrictions on at-risk salmonids and illustrates diagnostic features to facilitate species identification in the field. The signs, installed throughout coastal Washington State, target Washington’s recreational nearshore anglers. To assess recreational fishing pressure on selected species, the project has implemented a 12-month harvest survey. The objective of the survey is to collect quantitative and qualitative information volunteered by anglers, which Wild Fish Conservancy will analyze and provide to USFWS and WDFW as feedback to assist with refinement of biologically based fishing regulations that are accessible and understandable by the public. Methods The regulatory signage utilized in this project focuses on anadromous bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and sea-run coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) and were developed by the USFWS’s Western Washington Fish and Wildlife Office (Fig. 1). At all posting sites, the regulatory sign was accompanied by an advertisement (Fig.

Human Environment 5.1 Cultural Resources 5.1.1 Native American Overview Prehistory Jeanne M. Welch and R.D. Daugherty prepared a compilation of the prehistoric era on the Olympic Peninsula as part of their background information for a 1988 survey project on Dungeness NWR (Welch and Daugherty 1988). The following information is paraphrased from their report. The five periods of occupation for the region proposed by Eric Bergland (Bergland 1984) cover approximately 12,000 years and include: Early Prehistoric, Middle Prehistoric Early Maritime, Prehistoric, Northwest Coast Pattern, and Historic. On the Olympic Peninsula, the prehistoric people are characterized as small groups of hunters and gatherers who moved around to utilize both terrestrial and maritime resources. This period on the peninsula is represented by the Manis Mastodon site (45CA218) which attests to the hunting of large game animals. It is likely that the onset of the Middle Prehistoric saw an increase in the use of maritime resources such as anadromous fish. By the Early Maritime period, proposed to have begun around 3,000 years before present (BP), the use of maritime resources was well established. It is likely that the cultural manifestations of these later prehistoric periods resembled those of the ethnographic period, but details such as the existence of villages with large, cedar plankhouses are uncertain. During the Prehistoric Northwest Coast Pattern period, which began 1,000 years BP, chipped stone assemblages virtually disappeared while large plankhouse villages became prominent.

The elevation of the highest snow-capped summit of Mount Rainier was determined byC. H. Birdseye in 1913 from carefully checked vertical angles based on spirit-level elevation of McClure Rock. The distance between McClure Rock and Crater, a station marked by a rock cairn on the bare south rim of the mountain, was computed from triangulation data. The distance from Crater to the summit, which is 980 feet, was measured by stadia and checked by plane-table intersections. The elevation of Crater is 14,267 feet and that of the summit 14,408 feet. Mount Rainier is, so far as known, the second highest point in the United States. CONTENTS.

    COASTAL OBSERVATION AND SEABIRD SURVEY TEAM Breaking News Reports 06–07 In the quest for personal best, COASST topped Aleutian Islands nearly all of last year’s records. In the words of Bert Seasonal staff at the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Johnstone, more than 450 surveyors “strategically Refuge are the backbone of COASST in the Aleutian strolled and scrupulously scrutinized sun-seared Islands. Getting there can be pretty harrowing at times, sands, surf-swept swaths, and straggle-strewn strands, but once on the islands, accessing the beach isn’t such scruffily scrounging and skillfully scanning stricken a hard task; the Oystercatcher beach directions form strays, surfeited surfers and squandered squab.” But notes “from the cabin, take a leisurely stroll down to even after all that scrounging and scrutinizing, we the beach; less than a minute.” And no shortage of actually found fewer total birds than last year. birds—the Aiktak Island crew of Joel Helm and Tyra Zeman found two Tufted Puffins within days of each Bering Sea other, brought in by strong northerly winds and “seas Our northernmost sites started adding new species of more than 8-10 feet that pushed the wrack way up.” to the COASST master list right off the bat.
