  • CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION of WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION"
    REPRINT FROM CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION" VOLUME 44 OCTOBER, 195S NUMBER 4 CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE, GROWTH, AND LONGEVITY OF BROOK TROUT IN A SMALL, HIGH-ALTITUDE LAKE OF THE EASTERN SIERRA NEVADA' NORMAN REIMERS Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Reno, Nevada INTRODUCTION Eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) are introduced at finger- ling size into many alpine lakes in California, on a population-sustain- ing rather than a put-and-take stocking basis. Although these trout are best appreciated by anglers for their readiness to take baits and lures, and for their quality in the frying pan, they are also favored by fishery managers for their ability to maintain themselves in such marginal situ- ations as are frequently found in high-mountain lakes. Whereas other species generally require moving water and selected stream-bottom areas for spawning, brook trout are often able to reproduce by spawn- ing on spring-fed areas of the lake bottom. This lake-spawning ability is an important factor in the maintenance of trout populations in drainages where some lakes, otherwise well qualified to support trout, have no interconnecting streams or have their tributaries channeled through broken rock in which there is little if any bottom suitable for spawning. To learn more about the success and longevity of brook trout in a poor habitat at high altitude, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1951 began a study of Bunny Lake, a snow-fed, 21-acre cirque lake located at the upper limit of drainage (elevation 10,900 feet ; U.

  • Sudeep Chandra, Phd Dr. Sudeep Chandra's Research at The
    Sudeep Chandra, PhD Dr. Sudeep Chandra’s research at the University of Nevada focuses on the conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems with a goal of improving environmental policy based on scientific information. Sudeep has been a strong advocate of cooperative international research and conservation. His interest in international research began in 1997 when he participated in the Tahoe-Baikal Institute’s annual environmental exchange program, which brought him to Lake Baikal, Russia. In 2003, he was awarded his 1st international research project from the Trust for Mutual Understanding and the National Geographic Society to investigate the impacts of mining activities on the rivers of the upper Lake Baikal watershed in Mongolia. This work led to the development of a project funded by the Global Environment Fund and World Bank to use faith-based initiatives and scientific approaches to conserve the world’s largest trout (Hucho taimen) in Mongolia. Through nongovernmental organizations (Great Basin Institute, Earth Watch), Sudeep worked with his students to conserve one of the last population strong holds of the American crocodile along the Central coast of Mexico. Support from NATO provided an opportunity for Sudeep and his colleagues to train local students and understand how lakes utilized for irrigation may be used for fisheries production in Uzbekistan. Together with his colleague and friend, Dr. Zeb Hogan, host of the globally watched National Geographic show Monster Fish, Sudeep has travelled to Bhutan to develop approaches for conserving Bhutanese rivers and the giant golden mahseer (Tor putitora); they recently established the Global Water Center at the University of Nevada.

  • Development and Application of a Geospatial Database of Sierra Nevada Lakes and Reservoirs
    ABSTRACT DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A GEOSPATIAL DATABASE OF SIERRA NEVADA LAKES AND RESERVOIRS by Molly Gail Mehling High-elevation, mountain regions, such as the Sierra Nevada, are characterized as extremely heterogeneous and ecologically fragile. The Sierra Nevada has been recognized for its high conservation value, but historical and predicted tourism and development threaten the ecological resources of the region. Assessment and monitoring of the Sierra Nevada’s aquatic resources and their catchments is crucial to their balanced management. Using a digital geospatial database, landscape-scale variables of morphometry, land cover and human activities were quantified for 20 assessment sites and their catchments in the most rapidly developing area of the ecoregion, the central Sierra Nevada. Landscape-scale variables revealed ecological and anthropogenic heterogeneity among the sites. These measurements were incorporated into a multi-level index of ecological integrity and were analyzed with multivariate statistical methods to objectively assess similarity among sites. It is expected that these metrics will be incorporated into a multi-level assessment protocol.

  • Chapter 20: Literature: Joaquin Miller
    Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 20 Literature: Joaquin Miller "There loomed Mount Shasta, with which my name, if remembered at all, will be remembered." So wrote Joaquin Miller in his 1873 classic Mt. Shasta novel, Life Amongst the Modocs: Unwritten History. Miller was a young gold miner in the Mt. Shasta region from 1854 until 1857. Remarkable among extant Miller materials is his 1850s diary which, among other things, records his living for an entire year in Squaw Valley on the southern flank of Mt. Shasta. It was a year in which he lived with an Indian woman among her tribe. His experience living among the Indians, mostly out of contact with white people, gave him an unprecedented sympathy for the Indian and for nature. In later life Miller wrote book after book and poem after poem utilizing the themes he had learned from experience during those early years. Several of Miller's books, including the 1873 Unwritten History..., the 1884 Memorie and Rime, and the 1900 True Bear Stories, contain considerable autobiographical material about his life at Mt. Shasta. Note that Miller was a man far ahead of his times, and critics up until the late 20th Century did not fully appreciate his unconventional philosophy. Miller created a retreat for the homeless, spearheaded the first California Arbor Day, personally planted thousands of trees over a period of decades, founded an artistic commune based on the teachings of silence and nature, and wanted it to be known that he worked with his hands. Miller's 1885 log cabin, which still stands in Rock Creek National Park in Washington, D.

    2008 Bolam TSI and Fuelbreak Construction Project Hydrology Report 1. Introduction Report Summary This report outlines the applicable direction under state and federal authority for the 2008 Bolam/Deer Creek TSI & Fuelbreak Construction Project areas. This report evaluates the effects of proposed activities on water quality, aquatic and riparian environments within the Project area. The proposed action will integrate pre-commercial thinning and pruning treatment over a five to eight year period; fuelbreaks will be constructed to reduce the risk of wildfire spread. No riparian areas will be treated in the Bolam TSI. Riparian areas will be treated in the Deer Creek TSI with no ground-disturbing activities, on 0 to 20 percent slopes, during periods of no flow in the channel. Any channel crossings will be designated by a soil scientist or hydrologist; therefore these activities are neutral in attaining the Aquatic Conservation Strategy Objectives as outlined in the Northwest Forest Plan.1 Significant wet areas exist within and adjacent to plantations in the Deer Creek TSI and Fuelbreak Construction Project area. Darlingtonia bogs, seeps that cause bank failure onto roads and seeps that cross roads at Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) locations occur. One site of Port-Orford-cedar root disease, (Phytohphthora lateralis) was identified in the Scott Creek drainage and treated, this site lies within ½ mile of a plantation. Because there will be no ground disturbing activity; soil concerns are limited to turning of equipment and are addressed under Best Management Practices (BMPs). Best Management Practices are identified for project activities. If BMPs are implemented effectively, then no direct, indirect, or cumulative watershed effects or measurable impacts to water quantity or quality should occur.

  • Sierra Nevada Red Fox (Vulpus Vulpus Necator) As Threatened Or Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act
    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR Petition to List the Sierra Nevada Red Fox (Vulpus vulpus necator) as Threatened or Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act Photo Courtesy and Copyright of Dr. John Perrine 27 April 2011 CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY - 1 - 27 April 2011 Mr. Ken Salazar Mr. Ren Lohoefener Secretary of the Interior Pacific Southwest Regional Director Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 18th and "C" Street, N.W. 2800 Cottage Way, Room W-2605 Washington, D.C. 20240 Sacramento, CA 95825 RE: PETITION TO LIST SIERRA NEVADA RED FOX (Vulpus vulpus necator) AS A THREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES AND TO DESIGNATE CRITICAL HABITAT CONCURRENT WITH LISTING. Dear Mr. Salazar and Mr. Lohoefener: The Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpus vulpus necator) is subspecies of red fox that historically ranged from the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains northward through the southern Cascade Mountains of California and Oregon. Despite 31 years of protection as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act, Sierra Nevada red fox remains critically endangered and in imminent danger of extinction: it is today restricted to two small California populations; one near Lassen Peak with fewer than 20 known foxes and a second near Sonora Pass with only three known foxes. The total number of remaining foxes is likely less than 50; it could be less than 20. Its perilously small population size makes it inherently vulnerable to extinction, and sharply magnifies the extinction potential of several threats. None of those threats are abated by existing regulatory mechanisms. Therefore, pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C.
