Description

Abstract: This document provides watershed restoration actions proposed to enhance the Coho Salmon population within North Fork Beaver Creek in Lincoln County, Oregon. Topics include physical setting, current status of Coho, resources used in developing the plan, general questions that guide the assessment, pre-survey mapping/location of habitat subdivisions, anchor habitats, secondary branch habitats, critical contributing areas, summer and winter habitat potential, estuarine and freshwater marsh habitat, juvenile Coho, field assessment, evaluation of habitat quality and Coho production, locate migration barriers, and potential sites for restoration work. Additional topics included are a list and rank of the factors currently limiting Coho production, a rank of the list of restoration efforts, an explanation of how the modifications will interact and increase production, assessment questionnaire including morphology and core area discussion and secondary branch sites, critical contributing areas, and lowlands outside the 6th field subbasin.

Purpose: The goal of the restoration effort has been to identify the dominant processes and habitat characteristics in the NF Beaver Creek watershed that currently limit the production of Coho salmon smolts, and to develop a prioritized list of actions ("prescriptions") for removing the limitations in ways that normalize landscape and stream channel function.
