Anderson DG. 2003. Redwood Creek estuary monitoring 2002 annual progress report. Redwood National and State Parks
From the Introduction: "This annual report summarizes Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) Fish and Wildlife Branch monitoring activities in the Redwood Creek estuary for the calendar year 2002. Monitoring has occurred in the Redwood Creek estuary since 1980. The purpose of the monitoring is to determine fish utilization of the estuary, monitor estuary water quality and water and sand berm elevations, and document breaching incidents. This report serves as the annual report for RNSP Division of Resource Management and Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)." Sections of the report include Location, Methods, Water Quality Monitoring, Tide and Stream Flow Data, Estuary Water Levels, Estuary Cross Sections, Sand Berm Elevation Monitoring, Other Activities, Results, and Summary/Conclusion. The results indicate the fish species present (4 salmonid species, 8 other species), population estimates, and growth estimates. The appendices include: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, tabular and graphical data, maps of survey points from the sand berm profiles, and a science fair report about dissolved oxygen in the estuary and the effect of levee construction (Kelsey 2002), described separately in this database.
