Subject: Spring Chinook Week Registration
Hey Folks - This is a reminder for anyone interested in attending the
Salmon River Spring Run Chinook Symposium and or the Salmon River Dives
to register soon so we can get a final head count for food prep.
We are strongly encouraging local fisheries technicians and biologists
to attend.
To register for the symposium call: (707) 923-7501 or sign up online at
www.calsalmon.org
To sign up for the volunteer dive survey call: (530) 462-4665 for more
information visit www.srrc.org
This will be a great educational and networking oppurtunity for people
involved in fisheries restoration as well as a means to collect this
important 26 year old data set. The "Jammin for the Salmon" music and
education fest July 27-28 also has a great line up this year. See
www.srrc.org
See the public service announcement and article below for more info.

Salmon River Dives and Spring-run Chinook Symposium
Forks of Salmon, Salmon River, Ca. July 24-27
The Salmonid Restoration Federation and Salmon River Restoration Council
are hosting the 2nd Annual Spring-run Chinook symposium following the
annual Salmon River Spring Chinook and Summer Steelhead Dives. This is a
truly collaborative educational event with diverse symposium co-sponsors
including the Department of Fish and Game, the Karuk, Yurok, Hoopa, and
Klamath tribes, the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council, US Fish and Wildlife
Service, US Forest Service, and the Bureau of Reclamation.
SRF is pleased to offer this opportunity for local landowners,
restorationists, tribes, fisheries biologists and agency staff to
participate in the Salmon River Dives and the Chinook Symposium
including workshops, field tours and presentations on problems and
solutions specific to Spring-run Chinook. The event kicks off with a
dive safety training on Tuesday, July 24, and the actual dives or a
Salmon River Education and Exploration workshop on July 25. A locally
organized event, the dives bring together a coalition of agency
personnel, tribal members, and concerned citizens who form small teams
to dive the entire Salmon River in order to get the best possible
estimate of the salmonids holding in the Salmon River. The Salmon River
Surveys are a focal point in the effort to protect and restore Klamath
Spring Chinook, bringing together communities, tribes, academia and
agencies in a cooperative approach to recovery.
The Spring-run Chinook Symposium offers restoration practitioners
training and networking opportunities on issues affecting
California’s
threatened Spring-run Chinook populations. The Thursday symposium will
begin with an orientation with several Klamath tribe speakers followed
by three concurrent field tours. The Karuk Tribe will host a Traditional
Management Practices and Current Restoration Techniques tour, including
road decommissioning, riparian restoration and forestry management for
fire fuels reduction. Toz Soto, Leroy Cyr and Will Harling will lead a
Mid-Klamath Mainstem Thermal Refugia Float, with a discussion of refugia
use and importance, creek mouth enhancement, and salmonid
identification. Petey Brucker and Nat Pennington of the Salmon River
Restoration Council will lead a workshop and tour about community
approaches to restoration of Salmon River Spring Chinook that will
include a snorkel tour. Thursday evening will include a FERC relicensing
and Klamath Dam removal presentation with Kelly Catlett from Friends of
the River, Craig Tucker, Karuk Tribe, and Mike Belchik, fisheries
biologist with the Yurok tribe.
Friday will begin with an opening presentation by “Overview of
Spring
Chinook Salmon in California� by Dr. Peter Moyle, author of
Inland
Fishes of California. Petey Brucker from the Salmon River Restoration
Council will discuss Spring Chinook on the Salmon River and the Klamath
Salmon Spring Chinook Voluntary Recovery Program. Concurrent sessions
will include “All about Spring Chinook� focusing Chinook
Stock
Identification, life history investigations, and limiting factors, Fish
Disease including Cal-Nevada Fish Health Lab and Hoopa Tribal
presenters, and Spring Chinook of the Trinity River. Another
presentation will follow entitled, “Spring Chinook
Reintroduction in
the Klamath River Basin and the Importance of Having a
Metapopulation�
with fisheries biologists from the Klamath tribes.
The symposium will conclude with a panel discussion about Klamath Basin
Spring Chinook Conservation Management with Moderators Will Harling,
Petey Brucker and presenters from the symposium. The overarching
question that participants and presenters will discuss is: What do we
need to do to create a conservation strategy and management objectives
for Spring Chinook in the Klamath River Basin?
After the symposium, folks can migrate to the Jammin’ for the
Salmon
music festival.
So come for the Dives and the Symposium, do underwater networking while
counting the last of the wild Klamath spring Chinook, then stay Friday
night and Saturday, July 27th and 28th for the “Jammin’
for the
Salmon� benefit concert. For more information about this exciting
event please check out the Salmonid Restoration website at
www.calsalmon.org or www.srrc.org or call SRF at (707) 923-7501 or SRRC
at (530) 462-4665.
