Oregonian: Thinking Long-Term on Salmon Recovery
A boom-and-bust cycle has played havoc with the West Coast’s $290 million salmon industry. But helping idled fishermen with massive federal largesse – no matter how justified – treats only the symptoms of a complex problem.
Identification and Prioritization of Salmon Tributaries for Conservation in the Hoh River Basin
The purpose of this report is to prioritize Hoh River tributaries for conservation actions by identifying critical rearing and spawning habitat of salmon and steelhead. Successfully sustaining wild salmon will depend on the maintenance and improvement of current biological conditions in relatively healthy watersheds, as well as the restoration of altered freshwater habitats and implementation of improved regulatory measures that benefit overall ecosystem productivity.
Finding a Solution to the Landslide-Prone Railroad on the Salmonberry River
In our view, the railroad is an ecological and commercial liability. Alternatives should be analyzed that would replace the Coast Range stretch of the rail line with one that is more cost effective and restores the health and resiliency of the Nehalem and Salmonberry watersheds. Specific recommendations are provided.

Expanding Net of Protection for Salmon
In May, Puget Sound steelhead was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. With the addition of the listing, half of Washington's salmon species are at risk of extinction. Despite the troubling trend, we have reason to hope.
Observational Evidence of Spatial and Temporal Structure in a Sympatric Anadromous (Winter Steelhead) and Resident Rainbow Trout Mating System on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington
We documented the spawning distribution and male mating tactics of sympatric anadromous rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (winter steelhead) and resident rainbow trout in the Calawah and Sol Duc River basins, Washington. Snorkel surveys and in situ behavioral observations were used to determine the spatial and temporal distribution patterns and male mating tactics of anadromous, resident, and hatchery residual fish across the spawning season.
