LoBianco RM and Fong D. 2003. 2002 California Freshwater Shrimp (Syncaris pacifica) Surveys Within Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area [PUBLIC VERSION]. San Francisco, CA
During 2002, the lower gradient sections of 13 streams within Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation were surveyed for the presence and status of the federally endangered California freshwater shrimp (Syncaris pacifica). Survey sites were chosen based on the professional judgement of National Park Service (NPS) staff regarding the habitat requirements of the shrimp and the location of potential shrimp habitat on NPS land. Field results confirmed the presence of freshwater shrimp within Olema Creek near the confluence with Lagunitas Creek. However, no other freshwater shrimp were found in the remaining sample sites. Other species of interest that were collected during sampling activities included western pearlshell mussel (Margaritifera falcate) on Olema Creek and the Tomales asellid (Caecidotea tomalensis) on Glenbrook Creek. Post-metamorphic California red-legged frogs (Rana aurora draytonii) were observed at Glenbrook and Laguna Creeks.
