• Description:
  In August 1989, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Portland District, and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in a cooperative investigation, sampled the Columbia River benthos in the vicinity of the route followed by the Cathlamet Ferry. The Cathlamet Ferry is a small ferry that runs between a dock on Puget Island, Washington, which is located at River Mile (RM) 43.2 on the Columbia River, and Westport, Oregon. The objectives of the study were to determine the species compositions and densities of benthic invertebrates in areas that may be dredged. This report summarizes the results of this investigation.
