BLM OR-WA, Tobe Creek Large Wood Project, Alsea Watershed and Acquatic Habitat Restoration

provide slack-water winter refugia for juvenile coho emerging from spawning habitat upstream. The objective of this project is to improve fish habitat and watershed function in Tobe Creek and other watershed restoration projects in the Alsea River Basin. The projects would benefit Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed Oregon coast coho salmon populations, in addition OC chinook salmon and OC steelhead would benefit. Habitat objectives are a) to increase channel complexity and b) reduce sediment transportation rates. Achieving the objectives would move conditions in the drainage toward recovery of anadromous habitat.
