Monitoring is an essential element of salmon enhancement. The purpose of our monitoring programs is to evaluate the effect of restoration work to improve natural watershed conditions and salmon resources. Volunteers are involved in all of our monitoring programs. Monitoring may involve visiting a restoration site once a week, once a month or once a year depending on the goals of the study. Results of monitoring programs help guide designs for future restoration projects and document successes to funding entities.
