Hood CAnal Steelhead Project
hood canal steelhead project
We are seeking volunteers to help monitor juvenile smolt traps on the Tahuya, Dewatto, and Little Quilcene Rivers as part of the Hood Canal Steelhead Project! As a volunteer you will assist HCSEG staff and interns to conduct rotary screw trap checks and learn about fish sampling protocols. All waders/boots/equipment will be provided!
These traps are checked every day in the morning by interns and volunteers from April 1st to May 31st. You can sign up to help check either the Tahuya and Dewatto traps or the Little Quilcene trap. Volunteers will meet at the Salmon Center at 9:00 AM; unless another convenient location is agreed upon by volunteers and HCSEG staff.
The Hood Canal Steelhead Project is a 16-year project (2007-2022) that aims to restore three steelhead populations in Hood Canal while evaluating the effectiveness of hatchery supplementation as a conservation strategy for steelhead.
