| Full Title: |
A review of coho salmon life history to assess potentially limiting factors and the implications of historical removal of large woody debris in coastal Mendocino Co - Preliminary Draft - 1997, Prepared for Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, Wildlife and Fisheries Science Group, and Forest Resources & Fiber Procurement Division |

| Description: |
"This technical report on coho salmon is designed to support the efforts of Louisiana-Pacific (L-P) to develop Sustained Yield Plans (SYP) and a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the company’s timberlands in coastal Mendocino and Humboldt counties.
The fisheries resource of particular interest in coastal areas of Mendocino County, California is coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), because of its importance for sport and commercial harvest, and its status as a federally listed threatened species. The suitability of coastal streams for coho salmon can be heavily influenced by land management
actions, because such actions amy cause changes in fine sediment loads, stream cover conditions, and channel morphology that can have a pronounced effect on the quality of coho salmon habitat. L-P’s fisheries mitigation and monitoring approach considers coho salmon as a key species of special emphasis. Actions taken to protect, enhance, and monitor habitat conditions for coho are assumed to provide benefits to other resident and anadromous species as well. The SYP and HCP will also address the need for specific actions directed towards aquatic species other than coho salmon". |
