Upper Willamette River Chinook and Steelhead Recovery - NOAA Fisheries
- 1. Recovery Efforts for Upper Willamette River Chinook and Steelhead Rob Walton Willamette Recovery Coordinator NOAA Fisheries, Portland, OR
- 2. Vision of Recovery • Healthy ecosystem and economy • Partnerships are key • Scientific principles guide our efforts • Beyond delisting 2
- 3. UWR steelhead: • Molalla Pudding • N. Santiam • S. Santiam • Calapooia 3
- 4. UWR Chinook: • Clackamas • Molalla Pudding • N. Santiam • S. Santiam • Calapooia • McKenzie • Middle Fork 4
- 5. Improve All Life Stages Adults spawn, eggs emerge Adult upstream Rearing migration Growth to adult in Migration ocean 5
- 6. Challenges Adults spawn, eggs Blocked Passage emerge Adult upstream Rearing migration Growth to adult in Migration ocean 6

- 11. Challenges Reduced Habitat Adults spawn, Complexity eggs emerge Adult upstream Rearing migration Pre-spawning Mortality Growth to adult in Migration ocean 11
- 12. Challenges Reduced Habitat Adults spawn, Complexity eggs emerge Water Quality Adult upstream Rearing migration Pre-spawning Mortality Growth to adult in Migration ocean 12
- 13. Focusing Our Efforts Partnerships to protect and increase: • Diversity of habitat types • Off-channel areas with food sources • Shallow water habitat with cover • Floodplain connectivity • Water quality improvements • Streamline restoration permitting 13
- 14. Focusing Our Efforts • Implement the Willamette Project Biological Opinion • Other consultations • Coordinated research on critical uncertainties • Continued hatchery and harvest reform 14
- 15. Moving Forward • Reduce pre-spawning mortality • Passage at dams • Improved rearing and migration • Prioritizing actions • Partnerships • Monitoring progress 15

Editor's Notes
- The primary message I’d like you to take away from this presentation:work is continuing in all life stages TO RESTORE ECOSYSTEM AND RECOVER POPULATIONS – MANY SUCCESSES, AS WE’VE HEARD, SHORT REPORT CARD ongways to goWe recognize that recovery is not likely to happen if people think it will only come at the expense of the local economy, so We want to work WITH AGENCIES, GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS TO REACH THIS VISION, NOT AGAINST THEM, IF THAT’S POSSIBLE!NEXT SLIDE
- SCIENCE TEAMS THAT DESIGNATED INDEPENDENT POPS CONCLUDED ALL ON EAST SIDE - WEST SIDE TRIBS HAVE SOME REARING HABITAT, BUT PRIMARY FOCUS OF RECOVERY IS THESE POPS.NEXT SLIDE

- PRIMARY message:To recover need improvements across the board, whether you think of it as:a chain of favorable environments - AFS scientist WF Thompson 1959This chain is only as strong as the weakest link; bottom line is: we need increased fitness and survival in all life stages we need continued support from ALL OF you, and society as a whole to make that happen.Relating these life stages to human activities… ==> NEXT SLIDE

- Dave Hulse: beginning of a new era? We’d like to see…One of most intimidating issues - water quality, given the number of substances that we discharge into the rivers from our cities, roads, farms, forests, etcIncreasing # of sources of pollutants includingPharmaceuticalsPersonal care productsVehicles and roads (copper in brakepads)StormwaterPesticidesIndustrial productsNano materials 0 to 100 nanometers ( one billionth of a meter)Socks Contact me if you’re interested in this… NEXT SLIDE
- Research with ODFW, universities, Corps, othersResearch, effectiveness monitoring, adaptive management to help set priorities:What life stages , what LFs have best potential BB4B?Where is best potential to actually achieve increased fitness, survival?NEXT SLIDE
- Challenges at every life stageWe need help at every life stage; can’t ignore any:Again, recognize work you’ve been doing; Protection, restoration, filling data gapsEndorse what many presentations have described as important contributions to effort to recover salmon, steelhead and remove them form the list of species threatened with extinction.NEXT SLIDE
