  • Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Fish Populations in South Fork Hoh River, Olympic National Park

    Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Fish Populations in South Fork Hoh River, Olympic National Park

    Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Fish Populations in South Fork Hoh River, Olympic National Park J.R. Sedell, P.A. Bisson, J.A. June, and R.W. Speaker ABSTRACT Four distinct running water habitats are defined and examined on the South Fork Hoh River--main river channel, river off-channel areas, terrace tributaries, and valley wall tributaries. Species compositions, densities, and total fish biomasses are 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 modifying effects of large woody debris. Without large wood, spawning and rearing habitat quality would be poorer, even in the large channel. Virtually all rearing of salmonid fish occurs in river off-channel areas and tributaries. The main channel is used mainly for spawning and migration. Fish densities and biomasses are highest in streams along the valley floor. Alteration of these areas will have greatest impact on fish production. J. R.

    National Parks and Iccas in the High Himalayan Region of Nepal: Challenges and Opportunities

    [Downloaded free from http://www.conservationandsociety.org on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, IP: 129.79.203.216] || Click here to download free Android application for this journal Conservation and Society 11(1): 29-45, 2013 Special Section: Article National Parks and ICCAs in the High Himalayan Region of Nepal: Challenges and Opportunities Stan Stevens Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In Nepal, as in many states worldwide, national parks and other protected areas have often been established in the customary territories of indigenous peoples by superimposing state-declared and governed protected areas on pre-existing systems of land use and management which are now internationally considered to be Indigenous Peoples’ and Community Conserved Territories and Areas (ICCAs, also referred to Community Conserved Areas, CCAs). State intervention often ignores or suppresses ICCAs, inadvertently or deliberately undermining and destroying them along with other aspects of indigenous peoples’ cultures, livelihoods, self-governance, and self-determination. Nepal’s high Himalayan national parks, however, provide examples of how some indigenous peoples such as the Sharwa (Sherpa) of Sagarmatha (Mount Everest/Chomolungma) National Park (SNP) have continued to maintain customary ICCAs and even to develop new ones despite lack of state recognition, respect, and coordination. The survival of these ICCAs offers Nepal an opportunity to reform existing laws, policies, and practices, both to honour UN-recognised human and indigenous rights that support ICCAs and to meet International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) standards and guidelines for ICCA recognition and for the governance and management of protected areas established in indigenous peoples’ territories.

It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

This mandate applies to all congressionally designated wilderness and other park lands that are, by policy, managed as wilderness, including eligible, potential, proposed, or recommended wilderness. This User Guide builds on the ideas in Keeping It Wild: An Interagency Strategy to Monitor Trends in Wilderness Character Across the National Wilderness Preservation System (Landres and others 2008).

    TRAVERSING THE BAILEY RANGE Solitude and scenery on Olympic National Park’s premier high route By Karl Forsgaard Deep in the northern wilderness of Olympic Na- tional Park, the Bailey Range Traverse crosses high, scenic country with grand views of surrounding river valleys and peaks—including 7,965-foot Mount Olympus. At each end of the traverse you’ll find popular trails – the Sol Duc River, Seven Lakes Basin and High Divide in the west, the Elwha River in the east. Be- tween those trails are several days of cross-country travel, re- quiring route-finding skills and mountaineering skills above and beyond basic backpack- ing.
