Spring Run Chinook Salmon Project Work Team

Team Overview

The Spring Run Chinook Salmon Project Work Team will provide a venue for scientists from diverse agencies and groups to coordinate and synthesize findings to inform research and monitoring needs in the future.

Objectives

• Provide guidance for monitoring, prioritizing projects, and developing action plans to collect data
• Develop juvenile production and freshwater survival indices
• Evaluate the role(s) of the Butte sink, Sutter Bypass, Yolo Bypass and Feather and San Joaquin rivers floodplains for the rearing and migration of spring-run juvenile Chinook salmon populations
• Evaluate the survival of spring-run juvenile Chinook salmon through the Sacramento River under different river flow scenarios
