Description
- Abstract: The Siuslaw River Basin is one in a series of similar watersheds in the Oregon coastal mountain range extending from the Nehalem to the Coquille. Rivers and streams in these watersheds generally occur in a forest dominated landscape, have moderate gradients, and medium to large estuaries. There are few dams that substantially affect anadromous fish runs. Water withdrawals impact only a small portion of the total miles of stream habitat. Water quality and temperatures are suitable for salmonids for the entire year in most areas. Rainfall throughout the area is heavy, resulting in a high density of streams relative to watershed area. The Siuslaw River system alone has over one thousand contiguous miles of stream suitable for salmonids. Some of these stream reaches are highly productive, while others are severely degraded.

- Purpose: ODFW is committed to the planning process as an integral part of all current and future management by the agency. Species plans for coho, coastal chinook, steelhead, trout and warmwater game fish have been adopted. These statewide plans guide the development of more localized plans for individual river basins and subbasins. These plans serve several needed functions. They present a logical, systematic
approach to conserving our aquatic resources. They establish management priorities and direct attention to the most critical problems affecting our fisheries so that the Department's funds and personnel can be used accordingly. They inform the public and other agencies about the Department's management programs and provide them with the opportunity to help formulate those programs.
