The Wenatchee–Entiat River Basin
Background
Since 2004, ISEMP in the Wenatchee basin has focused on the design and implementation of a sampling regime and Status and Trend Monitoring program with 67 monitoring indicators (Hillman 2004, see Documents & Reports section). The monitoring project targets salmon and steelhead populations and habitat and is in collaboration with the Regional Technical Team (RTT), a shared interest group of over 10 agencies within the Upper Columbia basin.
The design, implementation, and monitoring of an Effectiveness Monitoring project is being conducted collaboratively with the "Bridge to Bridge" habitat restoration projects in the Entiat basin.
Sub projects within the basin
