  • Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Washington State: Status and Management
    Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Washington State: Status and Management Jon. D. Anderson Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Fish Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington 98501- 1091 [email protected] Introduction The coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) inhabits a diverse and ecologically varied suite of habitats in Washington State. Cutthroat have responded to this variability, as evidenced by their exhibiting four basic life history forms (Wydoski and Whitney 2003), anadromous, adfluvial, fluvial and resident. A summary of the status of the anadromous form of coastal cutthroat trout in Washington State was published by Leider (1997). The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) completed the salmonid stock inventory (SaSI) assessment process for coastal cutthroat trout (Blakley et al. 2000), which expanded upon the Washington Department of Game Sea-Run Cutthroat Status Report (DeShazo 1980). In the SaSI, the coastal cutthroat populations were described as “stock complexes”. These complexes were defined as a group of closely related stocks located within a single watershed or other relatively limited geographic area. The number of stocks within a stock complex may never be known with any confidence. The inventory identified 40 coastal cutthroat stock complexes and determined their status (healthy, depressed, critical, unknown or extinct), origin (native, non-native or unknown) and production type (wild, cultured or unknown). This paper is intended to provide updated information subsequent to that paper, and to document the response of the WDFW to the proposed listing of this population under the Endangered Species Act. In response to a petition to list coastal cutthroat trout as threatened or endangered under the U.S.

    STATE-OF-THE-RIVER REPORT FOR THE CHEHALIS RIVER BASIN 2006 - 2009 A Water Quality Study Joel Green, Ph.D. Don Loft, B.A. Randy Lehr, Ph.D. Grays Harbor College 1620 Edward P. Smith Drive Aberdeen, WA 98520 Contributors: Chehalis Basin Partnership, Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation and Washington State Department of Ecology Funded by: Washington State Department of Ecology, Grays Harbor College and the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation September 14, 2009 Executive Summary To better manage the Chehalis Basin, it is important to understand water quality in the Chehalis River and its tributaries. Previous studies throughout the Chehalis Basin have suggested that ambient water quality conditions range widely, and the primary water quality parameters of concern are temperature, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, pH and turbidity due to sediment runoff. To advance knowledge of water quality in the Chehalis Basin, we initiated a study in 2006 to collect and analyze water samples from 83 sites on a monthly basis for dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, turbidity, and fecal coliform. During 2008, the number of sites was expanded to 94. The project was a collaborative effort of Grays Harbor College, which was responsible for study design, analysis, and reporting, and the Chehalis Tribal Natural Resources Department, which was responsible for collecting water samples and conducting chemical analyses of samples. The criteria used to evaluate water quality were based on Washington State standards (173-201A WAC). The rationale for these standards is that water quality meeting the standards provides for the habitat needs of fish and other aquatic life, provides a safe environment for people engaged in water recreation, and provides for the production of healthy and safe seafood.

  • 5.10 Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region
    Ecological Regions: Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region 5.10 Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region 5.10.1 Overview The Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region encompasses the tributaries that directly enter Grays Harbor (other than the Chehalis River) and the Wishkah River that enters the Chehalis River at RM 0 (Figure 5-19). This ecological region encompasses more than 600 square miles (nearly 385,000 acres) and represents approximately 22% of the overall Chehalis Basin. The ecological region is diverse, with drainages from the Olympic Mountains and lower Coast Range areas. The highest point in this ecological region is Gibson Peak at 4,390 feet. The Humptulips Important Features and Functions River arises in two forks within the Olympic National • The amount of tidally influenced Forest at about 3,000 feet in elevation and flows for freshwater wetland with Sitka spruce 60 miles to Grays Harbor. The Hoquiam River arises in swamp in the ecological region is unique in the basin and much different from the the low foothills of the Olympic Mountains in three deciduous-dominated forest in the forks at about 400 feet in elevation; the East Fork Chehalis River Tidal Ecological Region. Hoquiam River is the longest and flows for 17 miles. A • The maritime climate provides a year- significant part of the Middle Fork and West Fork round buffer to air (and water) temperatures.
