Comparative Analysis of the Klamath River Basin Ecosystem: GIS and TechnicalSupport for the Klamath River Basin Fisheries Task Force and Technical Work Group, Phase 3, 97-PC-01

摘要

The Klamath River Basin Fisheries Task Force Technical Work Group (TWG)contracted with the Spatial Analysis Lab (SAL) at Humboldt State University, to assemble and develop Geographical Information System (GIS) digital data layers for fisheries restoration planning in the Klamath River Basin and to provide technical support for TWG activities including subbasin planning. Project funding was used to provide map layers and products, maintain the fishery restoration project database, and analyze digit map layers in cooperation with federal, state, Native American tribes and other entities involved with restoration efforts in the Klamath River Basin. The majority of GIS efforts lent support to subbasin planning and the continuing cooperative microhabitat and flow study (including water quantity and quality modeling) work between the USGS Midcontinent Ecological Science Center and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Products from the vegetation mapping of the Klamath Bioregion from Landsat imagery that was completed by the Klamath Bioregional Assessment Project have been incorporated for spatial analysis that will assist the TWG examine parameters affecting anadromous fishery recovery efforts.
