Coho Supplementation in the Queets River, Washington Coho Supplementation in the Queets River, Washington Larry Lestelle, Biostream Environmental February 2012 Purpose of presentation: . Summarize results of coho supplementation in the Queets River 1989-2002 . Two papers summarized, along with more recent results: Lestelle, L.C., G.R. Blair, S.A. Chitwood. 1993. Approaches to supplementing coho salmon in the Queet s River, Washi hitngton. IIn L. Berg and PPW.W. DDlelaney (eds.) Proceedings of the coho workshop. British Columbia Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Vancouver, BC. Sharma, R., G. Morishima, S. Wang, A. Talbot, and L. Gilbertson. 2006. An evaluation of the Clearwater River supplementation program in western Washington. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 63:423– 437. The Queets watershed – west coast of the Olympic Peninsula, WA (450 square mile basin) Focus in this review on the work in the Clearwater R Land-use ownership and jurisdictions Stream habitats very diverse Diverse in-channel habitats Diverse off-channel habitats Long-term monitoring has occurred in Clearwater R . Extensive smolt enumeration efforts (began 1980) . Sppgawning escapements monitored with redd surveys (mid 1970s to present) . Similar level of monitoring in Queets subbasin The Problem (as perceived in 1980s): . Believed that coho run badly underescaped • Extensive ocean and freshwater fisheries • Highest harvest rates in BC – outside domestic control • Federal court-ordered escapement goal range • Treaty-reserved Indian fisheries squeezed Ocean Recruits and Spawner Escapement 25,000 Age‐3 recruits 20,000 ber 15, 000 Num 10,000 5,000 Spawners 0 1979 1981 1983 1985 1987 1989 Spawning year Ocean Recruits and Spawner Escapement 25,000 Age‐3 recruits 20,000 ber 15, 000 Num 10,000 Escape goal range 5,000 Spawners 0 1979 1981 1983 1985 1987 1989 Spawning year Supplementation to be used .

Abstract: This Environmental Assessment documents the proposed action, two alternatives to the proposed action, and the no action alternative considered for commercially thinning timber; conducting road construction, reconstruction, and maintenance; treating activity-generated slash (fuels); and implementing connected actions within the Late-Successional Reserve, Adaptive Management Area, and Riparian Reserve land allocations of the Queets River watershed on the Olympic National Forest, Pacific Ranger District. The Queets Vegetation Management project proposed treatment units are located within the Late-Successional Reserve and Adaptive Management Area land allocations, and also include Riparian Reserves which overlay these other land allocations.

  • 2016 State of Our Watersheds Report Queets – Chehalis Basins
    2016 State of Our Watersheds Report Queets – Chehalis Basins he evidence is abundantly clear. We know how Tto manage our fish. We understand sustain- ability. The problems fish are facing are not of our making. But we are definitely a big part of the solution, with the work we do in habitat res- toration and protection, good management and education. – FAWN SHARp, PRESIDENT QUINAULT INDIAN NATION Quinault Indian Nation The Quinault Indian Nation (QIN) consists of the Quinault and Queets tribes and descendants of five other coastal tribes: Quileute, Hoh, Che- halis, Chinook and Cowlitz. Quinault ancestors lived on a major physical and cultural dividing line. Beaches to the south are wide and sandy, while to the north, they are rugged and cliff- lined. Quinault people shared in the cultures of the people to the south as well as those to the Seattle north. Living in family groups in longhouses up and down the river, they were sustained by the land and by trade with neighboring tribes. Salmon runs, abundant sea mammals, wildlife and forests provided substantial material and spiritual wealth. A great store of knowledge about plants and their uses helped provide for the people. The western red-cedar, the “tree of life,” provided logs for canoes, bark for clothing, split boards for houses and more. The Quinault are the Canoe People, the people of the cedar tree. Tribal headquarters are located in Taholah, Washington. 190 Quinault Indian Nation Queets – Quinault – Chehalis Basins The Quinault Indian Nation’s Area of Interest for this report covers three Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) includ- ing the Queets-Quinault basin (WRIA 21) and Chehalis basin (WRIAs 22 and 23).

Speaker Oregon State University,Corvallis, Oregon :]: ABSTRACT Four distinct running-water habitats are defined and examined on the South Fork Hoh River and Upper Queets River-main river channel, river off-channel areas, terrace tributaries, and valley-wall tributaries. Speciescompositions, densities, and total fish biomassesare distinctly different for each habitat examined. Habitat formed by the main river channel and its tributaries is controlled by the valley terrace structure and the modifyingeffects of large woody debris. Large woody debris is important to all habitats regardless of size of stream. Without large wood, spawning and rearing-habitat quality would be poorer, even in the large, sediment-rich main channel. large wood-capped side channels had eight times the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) densities as side channels without debris.

An important motivation for understanding orogenesis here, and throughout the Coast Range, is the concern about the relationship of active deformation to seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia subduction zone. There is also much interest in apportioning the nature of the deformation, whether cyclic or permanent, whether it involves mainly shortening parallel or normal to the margin, and how the deformation on the pro- versus retrowedge sides of the orogen compare. Pre-Holocene stratigraphy and structure provide the only records of suffi cient duration to separate long-term permanent deformation from earthquake-cycle elastic deformation.
