Description:

In 2014 and 2015, we began a habitat status and trend monitoring program for the Puget Sound Chinook, Hood Canal Summer Chum, and Puget Sound Steelhead Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs), covering large river, floodplain, delta, and nearshore habitats. The purpose of this monitoring program is to provide consistent habitat data for evaluating trends in the habitat listing factor at each 5-year status review for the listed ESUs. As part of the monitoring program, we developed protocols for delineating floodplain, delta, and nearshore boundaries, and measuring habitat features and calculating monitoring metrics. In 2018 we expanded the monitoring program to the Oregon Coast Coho salmon ESU. Funding was reduced at the end of 2018. In this report, we summarize the protocols for delineating analysis area boundaries, and for measuring habitat features and calculating habitat metrics.
