Conference CE Classes
The River2D workshop is an intensive introduction to use of the River2D two-dimensional hydrodynamic model to represent segments of streams where quantitative information about aquatic habitats is needed. The workshop consists of lectures and hands-on exercises covering processing of field data, construction of needed input files, quality control and execution of the River2D model, and a brief introduction to habitat modeling based on 2D hydrodynamic model results.
Using Acoustic Tags to Track Fish is an intensive 2-day course on the use of acoustic tags for tracking fish. You will learn how acoustic tags are used to estimate fish survival and to monitor fish behavior in 2D and 3D in rivers, lakes and marine environments. The course will include acoustic theory and real world application examples along with hands-on demonstration of acoustic tag deployment, data collection, reduction and analysis, and Q&A with the technology's leading experts.
In the Effective Presentation Skills one-day CE Class students will learn the five P's of effectively communicating in front of an audience: Preparing, Planning, PowerPoint, Practicing, and Presenting.

Conference Field Tours
The Redding urban streams tour includes stops at several streams where efforts from agencies and non-profit restorationists have enhanced salmonid habitat through erosion control, culvert baffling, grade control structures, barrier modification, gravel supplementation, riparian planting, and invasive species control. The Trinity River Restoration Program has implemented a host of management actions to restore and sustain natural production of fish populations downstream of Lewiston Dam. The tour will visit several of the recently completed bank rehabilitation sites and introduce participants to the many aspects of this large-scale restoration program.
Restoration projects on Clear Creek have improved habitat for steelhead, spring, fall, and late-fall Chinook salmon in the northern Central Valley. The Clear Creek tour will visit floodplain and stream rehabilitation sites, spawning gravel supplementation areas, Whiskeytown Reservoir overlook, and the newly constructed greenway project overlook. The Sacramento River tour will begin at the scenic three Shasta's overlook where we will meet Bureau of Reclamation and US. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel to discuss Shasta Dam, issues related to salmonids, and the nearby Winter-run Chinook salmon conservation hatchery. We will continue downstream with stops to observe gravel enhancement, salmon stranding sites, and floodplain restoration opportunities.
The Shasta River tour will explore the watershed from its headwaters atop Mt Shasta to the confluence with the Klamath River. The Battle Creek tour will highlight collaborative efforts to resolve some of the limiting factors including low flows and passage barriers due to hydropower production since the 1900s as well as view some of the completed projects including the integration of Coleman National Fish Hatchery's mitigation responsibility with natural fish production.
