Topic: Chkwohl/Steelhead Adaptation Strategies (View All Topics in the Plan)
Innovative management design: See strategies to cool the river for ney-puy (salmon), also applicable for chkwohl (steelhead).
Coordinate watershed-scale actions that both increase fish resilience and mitigate climate change impacts (e.g., restoring connectivity of floodplains and high-elevation...
Restore favorable instream conditions to benefit multiple species and desired ecosystem function instead of single species (Moyle et al. 2008).
Restore degraded chkwohl habitat, water quality, and instream flow (NOAA 2016).
Remove or modify dams that affect chkwohl migration (NOAA 2016).
Preserve key chkwohl habitats such as Blue Creek as buffers against potential climate change issues (Yurok staff interview Dec. 2015).
Continue cultural burning practices to reduce threats of large wildfires and decrease landslides and debris flows resulting in increasing sediment...
Use temperature sensitive tags to infer chkwohl location to track habitat use in thermally heterogeneous environments (Brewitt and Danner 2014).
