During 2018, NSEA was fortunate to receive funding dedicated to our monitoring activities. The funding for staff and equipment greatly increased our ability to monitor project sites, determine whether we are meeting our project goals and objectives, and to develop adaptive management strategies when we are not. This year, NSEA monitored a total of 19 riparian project sites, 20 fish passage projects and six instream habitat enhancement project sites. Riparian restoration is a main focus for NSEA. Community volunteers, the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), AmeriCorps and staff members allocate a large percentage of their time to riparian planting each year. The trees and shrubs we plant benefit salmon and the overall ecology of the stream. Monitoring the success of the plants is an important way to ensure that our riparian restoration efforts are effective. Terrell Creek instream habitat assessment repeated to Annual spawner surveys are used to confirm fish passage document improvements in habitat diversity. above barriers removed and document fish utilization of instream habitat enhancement projects. Habitat assessments are used to document and quantify existing instream habitat features, identify limiting factors, and determine the success of instream habitat enhancement projects over time. NSEA has also started monitoring stream temperature at one of our larger riparian and instream habitat improvement projects. This will help us document any temperature changes in the project reach over time as the riparian canopy closes and increases in groundwater inputs occur through our instream restoration activities. They may also help us identify warm water inputs to this reach that need to be addressed. We are using piezometers to identify groundwater levels during warmer summer months.
