22. Monitoring Changes
3 monitoring stations lost due to dam removal (Rogue, Sandy, Hood)
Coastal STW reduced to monitoring at strata level, KMP further reduced
Redd (population level) and juvenile (strata level) surveys initiated in most of Lower Columbia
Screw traps in 4 streams in LCR starting this spring
Estimating population abundance for 2 John Day populations
Implementing population redd surveys in Umatilla

23. Other Items of Interest
Research confirms steelhead in Fifteenmile Creek (Mid-Columbia) are summers, not winters
Coastal Multi-species Plan will codify steelhead management along the coast
