Monitoring

  2. Our Work

In order to restore and protect Columbia River habitats, we need to know on-the-ground conditions. Our monitoring programs help us better understand river conditions and increase the effectiveness of our management strategies. Our ongoing monitoring programs measure and track several types of habitat.

Focus studies (below) provide additional information on ecosystem characteristics.

Ecosystem Monitoring Program

Tracks habitat quality at select sites that are the least disturbed by development

Action Effectiveness Monitoring

Tracks conditions at habitat restoration sites to see how our restoration actions are meeting their goals

Watershed Evaluation Program

Watershed assessments track water quality in various regions of the watershed
