This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of this project were to acquire and restore approximately 600 acres of tidal emergent marsh, swamp, slough, and riparian forest habitat in the Columbia Estuary to benefit salmon, Columbian white-tailed deer and other wildlife. The project will help achieve Action 160 of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries' Biological Opinion for the Federal Columbia River Power System, which directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and BPA, in coordination with the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership, to develop and implement an estuary restoration program to protect and enhance ten thousand acres of tidal wetlands and other key habitats over a ten-year period, beginning in 2001, to rebuild productivity for listed salmon populations in the lower Columbia River. The project will also contribute to RPAs 7, 157, 158, 159 and 196.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Columbia River Basin is one of the nation's largest watersheds and extends mainly through four Western states and into Canada. Activities such as power generation and agricultural practices have impaired water quality in some areas, so that human health is at risk and certain species, such as salmon, are threatened or extinct. Chapter 1 reports on the actions related to restoration efforts in the Basin. The San Francisco Bay Delta watershed--which drains a vast area of California from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the Pacific Ocean--supplies drinking water for 25 million people and provides irrigation for about half the nation's fruit and vegetable production. Decades of development and agriculture have led to large reductions in water quality and supply, natural flood protection, and habitats across the watershed's three major regions: the Bay, the Delta, and the upper watershed. As described in chapter 2, federal entities have been working with nonfederal entities for decades to protect and restore the watershed. The Long Island Sound, an estuary bordered by Connecticut and New York, provides numerous economic and recreational benefits. However, development and pollution have resulted in environmental impacts, such as the degradation of water quality. Chapter 3 focuses on the Study to restore and protect the Sound. Puget Sound is the nation's second-largest estuary and serves as an important economic engine in Washington State, supporting millions of people, major industries, and a wide variety of species. However, according to the CCMP, human use and development have degraded water quality and habitats and harmed critical species such as salmon. Chapter 4 reviews the efforts to restore Puget Sound.
Download or read book Columbia River Basin Tributary Habitat Restoration Programmatic Environmental Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville, as lead agency) and Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation, as cooperating agency)(collectively referred to as the Agencies) are evaluating certain categories of habitat restoration actions in the tributaries of the Columbia River in the states of Oregon,Washington, Idaho, western Montana, and northern Nevada. These actions range from those such as monitoring, fencing, and planting, to bridge construction, instream habitat improvement and stream channel reconstruction. Bonneville, in cooperation with Reclamation, is preparing this Columbia River Basin Tributary Habitat Restoration Programmatic Environmental Assessment (Programmatic EA) to analyze the potential impacts of tributary habitat restoration actions that may occur at locations across the Columbia River Basin (hereinafter, the "Basin"), excluding the Columbia River estuary, to support more efficient environmental review of site-specific restoration proposals."--Introduction (page 1).

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. The Coastal Zone Information Center (CZIC) collection provides access to nearly 5,000 coastal related documents that the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) received from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Library. The collection provides almost 30 years of data and information crucial to the understanding of U.S. coastal management and NOAA's mission to sustain healthy coasts. This is one of their documents.
Download or read book Return to the River written by Richard N. Williams and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return to the River will describe a new ecosystem-based approach to the restoration of salmon and steelhead populations in the Columbia River, once one of the most productive river basins for anadromous salmonids on the west coast of North America. The approach of this work has broad applicability to all recovery efforts throughout the northern hemisphere and general applicability to fisheries and aquatic restoration efforts throughout the world. The Pacific Northwest is now embroiled in a major public policy debate over the management and restoration of Pacific salmon. The outcome of the debate has the potential to affect major segments of the region's economy - river transportation, hydroelectric production, irrigated agriculture, urban growth, commercial and sport fisheries, etc. This debate, centered as it is on the salmon in all the rivers, has created a huge demand for information. The book will be a powerful addition to that debate. - A 15 year collaboration by a diverse group of scientists working on the management and recovery of salmon, steelhead trout, and wildlife populations in the Pacific Northwest - Includes over 200 figures, with four-color throughout the book - Discusses complex issues such as habitat degradation, juvenile survival through the hydrosystem, the role of artificial production, and harvest reform

Download or read book Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the Columbia River Estuary Annual Report 2005 written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second annual report of a six-year project to evaluate the cumulative effects of habitat restoration projects in the Columbia River Estuary, conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Marine Sciences Laboratory, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service Pt. Adams Biological Field Station, and the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce for the US Army Corps of Engineers. In 2005, baseline data were collected on two restoration sites and two associated reference sites in the Columbia River estuary. The sites represent two habitat types of the estuary--brackish marsh and freshwater swamp--that have sustained substantial losses in area and that may play important roles for salmonids. Baseline data collected included vegetation and elevation surveys, above and below-ground biomass, water depth and temperature, nutrient flux, fish species composition, and channel geometry. Following baseline data collection, three kinds of restoration actions for hydrological reconnection were implemented in several locations on the sites: tidegate replacements (2) at Vera Slough, near the city of Astoria in Oregon State, and culvert replacements (2) and dike breaches (3) at Kandoll Farm in the Grays River watershed in Washington State. Limited post-restoration data were collected: photo points, nutrient flux, water depth and temperature, and channel cross-sections. In subsequent work, this and additional post-restoration data will be used in conjunction with data from other sites to estimate net effects of hydrological reconnection restoration projects throughout the estuary. This project is establishing methods for evaluating the effectiveness of individual projects and a framework for assessing estuary-wide cumulative effects including a protocol manual for monitoring restoration and reference sites.
