Salmon River Restoration Council

The salmon river restoration council's (srrc) mission is to assess, protect, and maintain the salmon river ecosystem with the active participation of the local community, focusing on the anadromous fisheries resource and the development of a sustainable economy.

Outreach programs - operate in local schools to teach natural resource sciences, ecosystem management, and watershed stewardship. Students at forks of salmon elementary school and junction elementary school learn scientific methods and gain valuable watershed knowledge through experiential teaching.

Water monitoring - establishes baseline water quality data, supports the clean water act's tmdl process, correlates river temperatures with fish behavior, characterizes fisheries refugia conditions, identifies opportunities for habitat improvement, assesses restoration effectiveness, and establishes community participation in the monitoring process.

Fisheries - the fisheries program encompasses the salmon river and the entire klamath river basin with projects that focus on cooperation amongst different stakeholders and agencies to protect and restore native fisheries resources in the salmon river.
