Latest Achievements

Darren Ward, Nick Som, Fisheries Biology

Drs. Darren Ward and Nick Som received a grant for research on salmon populations and habitat in the Redwood Creek estuary. The project will build on ongoing monitoring efforts to better understand salmon population abundance and life history. New work will include fish tagging and tracking, water quality assessment, food web studies, and expanded habitat monitoring. Findings will generate information to guide habitat restoration efforts in Redwood Creek and help inform future estuary restoration projects.

Project partners include the California Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Redwood National Park, the Yurok Tribe, California Trout, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Funding is provided through a subaward from UC San Diego, with primary support from NOAA.
