Post-Dam Fisheries Monitoring Strategy

Klamath Basin monitoring practitioners are collaborating to develop a holistic fisheries monitoring strategy that describes existing monitoring activities and critical gaps to be addressed that are critical to assess fish populations, restoration efforts, track progress towards the IFRMP core performance indicators, and inform management decisions to further benefit the Klamath Basin fish and fisheries during this post-dam era.
