ESSA developed conceptual models for what we considered the primary drivers of habitat conditions for fish in the Klamath Basin (i.e. fluvial geomorphic processes and water quality) and for each of the focal fish species currently present within each Klamath Basin sub-region or potentially present if fish passage is restored in the future. Different participants […]

To assist with future monitoring and status reporting for the Klamath basin, ESSA researched potential suitability thresholds for candidate performance indicators and compiled available information into a document. These suitability thresholds are not included in the IFRMP itself nor have they been vetted by project participants, but at the time of writing the IFRMP these

After careful consideration of alternatives, we adopted a multi-criteria scoring approach to prioritization that has undergone multiple rounds of peer-review by Sub-basin Working Group (SBWG) participants. The multi-criterion prioritization framework developed for Phase 3 of the IFRMP is based on six key questions to ask about any restoration project under consideration, which are linked to

The IFRMP Action-Stressor Definitions and Linkages Data Dictionary is the architecture of the IFRMP database and establishes how restoration actions and stressors are hierarchically linked together. It uses a standardized classification system for restoration actions in order to consistently describe restoration projects across multiple rounds of prioritization. Within this classification system, watershed restoration actions directly

The Integrated Fisheries Restoration and Monitoring Plan (IFRMP) prioritization results are the product of the coordinated efforts of a vast team committed to improving fishery restoration practices in the Klamath Basin. Additional input from interested participants during finalization of the Plan in Phase 5 will help make this Plan better. To date, the data, advice

The state of the science in river restoration ecology increasingly calls for more holistic approaches to restoration at the basin scale. Contemporary approaches seek to address multiple root causes of ecosystem degradation by emphasizing restoration of landscape-scale ecological processes and functions rather than the traditional focus on the resulting symptoms for individual sites and species.
These maps were produced as part of the Klamath Integrated Fisheries Restoration and Monitoring Plan (IFRMP) and are being used as the basis for determining range overlap of focal fish species with potential project locations during the restoration prioritization phase of this project (which is only one of several prioritization criteria). Note that the Keno
