MESHR has been testing an approach focused on habitat metrics and fish response for determining effectiveness of large wood treatments. Data is collected using an adapted protocol from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board (Crawford 2011) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Kaufmann et al. 1999) to methodically measure habitat characteristics in stream reaches for a subsample of large wood installation projects using a Before-After, Control-Impact (BACI) study design. Large wood, residual water and pool depths, percent occurrence of particular substrates, substrate embeddedness, fish cover, and snorkel validation data are documented. 1.092 MB.

This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000238. For more information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/Sci-Data.
