This is a brief synopsis of Dr. Milners early work in GLBA. The first paragraph provides insight into early stream survey work in the Monument during the 1950's and 60's which documented salmonid spawning runs in various streams. Johnston is reported to have attempted in the mid-1960s to organize and collate a stream survey where single visit measurements of general physical and biological observations were made. Merrel and Delong (Ohio State Institute of Polar Studies) collected juvenile fish and examined aquatic insects in Muir Inlet during 1965. Milner describes the hydrodynamics, temperature, and aquatic community components of three stream types based primarily on water source, clarity, and stability. Milner espouses stream survey work conducted by Park staff which attempts to record physical characteristics, evaluate spawning and rearing habitat, estimate spawning run size and estimate relative abundance of juvenile salmonids.
