The data gathered will describe life history strategies of juvenile salmonids, provide pre- and post-habitat restoration project conditions, and provide information to NCRLT to better manage their lands. NCRLT will sample river mile (RM) 0-1 of Wood Creek (tributary to Freshwater Creek Slough) and RM 0-1 of Martin Slough (tributary to Elk River Slough) to collect water quality and fish monitoring data within the Humboldt Bay watershed.
