SRF and AFS have created a dynamic conference agenda that addresses pressing issues that affect salmonid recovery and fisheries throughout the Pacific Northwest. The first two days of the conference will be filled with symposia, full-day workshops, continuing education classes, and field tours. A half-day plenary session will be followed by 1.5 days of technical, biological, and policy-related concurrent sessions. This conference will focus on a broad range of salmonid, fisheries, and watershed restoration topics of concern to restoration practitioners, and the scientific fisheries community.
This year the conference will feature workshops on topics including Water Quality and TMDLs, Floodplain Restoration, a Fisheries Engineering and Stream Restoration Symposium, Stormwater Pollution Workshop, and CE classes on acoustic tag training, and River 2 D technology. Concurrent sessions include: the State of California Salmonids, Anadromous Salmonid Monitoring, Stream Channel Restoration, Central Valley Salmonid Recovery Planning, Marine and Estuarine Fisheries Research: Conservation and Management, Status, Ecology and Management of Inland Fishes and Anadromous/Migratory Fishes, Water Diversions and Fish Impediments, FERC Relicensing and Restoration Opportunities, Planning, Documenting, and Evaluating Fish Restoration Activities, Instream Flow for Salmonids, and a Contributed Papers session.
Field Tours will visit restoration projects in Clear Creek, Battle Creek, the Upper Trinity River, the Shasta River, the Upper Sacramento River, and a Redding urban streams tour including Sulphur Creek, Salt Creek, and gravel augmentation projects. The Plenary session will feature David Montgomery author of King of Fish: the Thousand Year Run of Salmon and Dirt: the Erosion of Civilization, Larry Brown from the US Geological Survey who will discuss climate change and native fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and watershed, and Dan Bottom from the National Marine Fisheries Service will discuss “Pacific Salmon at the Crossroads and how Resilient are Salmon Ecosystems.” Maria Rea from NOAA will discuss salmonid recovery planning efforts for salmon in California.
