Stanislaus Habitat Use Pilot Investigation

The FFC, in cooperation with the US Bureau of Reclamation is conducting a pilot study to document the change in habitat and fish distributions relative to discharge.  The FFC, Wildlands, and the Institute for Natural Systems Engineering will team to implement the Stanislaus River Salmonid Habitat Use Investigation.  The purpose of the study be to determine fish and fish habitat response to different operational flows from Goodwin Dam into the lower Stanislaus River.  The objectives of the project are to conduct a preliminary investigation to test survey methods, validate the data analysis approach, and define how best to expand the effort to the entire Stanislaus River between Goodwin Dam and the confluence with the San Joaquin River.
