Furthermore the Plan covers the Tulalip Tribes Usual and Accustom Fishing areas (U&A) as determined by Judge Walter E. Craig in United States of America et. al., plaintiffs v. State of Washington et. al., defendant, Civil 9213 Phase I, Sub Proceeding 80-1, “In Re: Tulalip Tribes’ Request for Determination of Usual and Accustom Fishing Places.” This planning scope does not limit in any way the Tulalip Tribes’ hazard mitigation and emergency management planning concerns or influence. This section will provide detailed information on the history, geography, climate, land use, population and economy of the Tulalip Tribes and its Reservation. Tulalip Reservation History Archaeologists and historians estimate that Native Americans arrived from Siberia via the Bering Sea land bridge beginning 17,000 to 11,000 years ago in a series of migratory waves during the end of the last Ice Age. Indians in the region share a similar cultural heritage based on a life focused on the bays and rivers of Puget Sound. Throughout the Puget Sound region, While seafood was a mainstay of the native diet, cedar trees were the most important building material.there were Cedar numerous was used small to tribesbuild both that subsistedlonghouses on and salmon, large halibut,canoes.

Moreover, monitoring can be tailored to capture particular facets of this complex thermal Streams landscape that may be important indicators for species and life stages of management concern. We applied Rivers spatial stream network models (SSNMs) to an empirical dataset of water temperature from the Snoqualmie River Spatial autocorrelation watershed, WA, and use results to provide guidance with respect to necessary sample size, location of new sites, Monitoring and selection of a modeling approach. As expected, increasing the number of monitoring stations improved both predictive precision and the ability to estimate covariates of stream temperature; however, even relatively small numbers of monitoring stations, n = 20, did an adequate job when well-distributed and when used to build models with only a few covariates.

  • A Good Turn for the Tolt
    A GGoodood TurnTurn forfor thethe TTolt:olt: LLeveeevee SSetback/Salmonetback/Salmon HHabitatabitat PProjectroject Frequently Asked Questions Question: Why restore salmon habitat? Answer: Salmon are an enduring symbol of the Pacifi c Northwest, providing direct and indirect benefi ts to our culture, economy, and environment. Healthy salmon populations mean that our region is a healthy place to live and work. Salmon have been integral to Native American culture for centuries, and federal treaties assure the tribes continued access to healthy salmon stocks. The federal government lists Puget Sound Chinook salmon, as well as bull trout, as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This means they are likely to become endangered, or at a high risk of extinction, if steps to protect them are not taken soon. Science indicates that land uses affecting the salmon’s freshwater habitat are among the primary causes for the species’ decline. Although the federal government administers the ESA, everyone shares the responsibility to protect these animals, because everyone depends on healthy land and water resources. Local governments throughout Puget Sound are implementing projects to protect and restore salmon habitat. Question: Can the Tolt River really be restored? Answer: To prevent the river from fl ooding adjacent lands, levees were constructed along the lower Tolt in the 1940s. While partially successful, the levees dramatically changed the river’s behavior and fi sh habitat. In a more natural condition, the river is connected to its fl oodplain, has more room to move back and forth, and creates meander bends and split channels. A natural river also captures large pieces of wood from trees along the bank.

  • 1. Puget Sound Rivers and Salmon Recovery
    1. Puget Sound Rivers and Salmon Recovery David R. Montgomery, Derek B. Booth, and Susan Bolton A symposium on Restoration of Puget Sound Rivers at the spring 2000 meeting of the Society for Ecological Restoration’s Northwest chapter pre- sented an opportunity to synthesize regional expertise on river and stream restoration into a single volume. Largely drawn from presentations at the conference, the chapters of this book span a wide range of backgrounds and interests, including public policy, riparian forestry, stream ecology, hydrol- ogy, geomorphology, geology, and civil engineering. Chapters of the book proceed from geological and geomorphological controls on river and stream characteristics and dynamics, to the biological aspects of river systems in the region, to chapters that address social constraints and the application of flu- vial geomorphology, civil engineering, riparian ecology, and aquatic ecol- ogy to regional river restoration projects and programs. While we recognize that the material presented herein could not be comprehensive given the broad scope of the subject, these chapters have been selected to provide a com- pilation of state-of-the-art considerations and approaches for developing river restoration programs. The recent listing of various runs and stocks of Pacific salmon under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has focused national attention on the condi- tion of rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). In the Puget Sound region, recent ESA listings triggered statewide efforts to improve channel habitat involving ongoing expenditure of many millions of dollars annually and resulted in preparation of a “Statewide Strategy to Recover Salmon” by the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office (GSRO 1999).
