Contract Description:
PROJECT TITLE: Evaluate spawning of chum salmon just below the four lowermost Columbia River mainstem dams.

PROJECT GOAL:  The continuing purpose of this on-going project is to assess the extent of spawning by ESA-listed chum salmon in the mainstem Columbia River so that the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) can be managed to protect and enhance these important populations.  Our primary focus is to determine what conditions must exist to provide successful spawning and rearing below mainstem dams and what measures must be taken to protect those fish.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:  Continued implementation of this project will result in an improved understanding of the relationship between operation of the FCRPS and protection of mainstem spawning salmon populations.  Funding will allow continued in-season management of the hydrosystem, reducing harm to mainstem spawning and incubation.  We have developed a series of tasks designed to inform regional fish managers regarding status and trends of mainstem spawning populations of chum salmon.  These tasks will allow us to collect and report on abundance and productivity metrics, spatial structure, and genetic diversity that are essential for describing population viability and trends in abundance.  They will further our understanding of the spawning habitat requirements for these fish, especially as they relate to hydrosystem operation.
