In 2001-2003, Stream Fish Inventory surveys in North Cascades National Park Service Complex included: single-pass snorkeling in 7 tributaries to the upper Skagit River, 5 tributaries to Ross Lake (reservoir in the upper Skagit River), and 2 tributaries to the upper Stehekin River; four-pass snorkeling in 4 tributaries to the upper Skagit River, 5 tributaries to Ross Lake, and 2 tributaries to the upper Stehekin River; and three-pass (minimum) electrofishing in 2 tributaries to the upper Skagit River, 2 tributaries to Ross Lake, and 1 tributary to the upper Stehekin River. Six species of fish (five native and one non-native) were documented. Stream Fish Inventory surveys in Mount Rainier National Park included: single-pass snorkeling in 2 tributaries to the upper White River, 2 tributaries to the upper Carbon River, 2 tributaries to the upper Cowlitz River, 2 tributaries to the upper Nisqually River, and 2 tributaries to the upper Puyallup River; four-pass snorkeling in 2 tributaries to the upper White River, 2 tributaries to the upper Carbon River, 2 tributaries to the upper Cowlitz River, 2 tributaries to the upper Nisqually River, and 2 tributaries to the upper Puyallup River; and three-pass (minimum) electrofishing in 1 tributary to the upper Carbon River, and 1 tributary to the upper Nisqually River. Five species of fish (four native and one non-native) were documented. The NPS established the Natural Resource Inventory and Monitoring Program (I&M) to help park units collect scientifically credible ecological resource information and to develop or improve field and analytical monitoring techniques. As a first step, 5-year inventories were initiated in the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) to gather core sets of data describing park vascular plants and vertebrate resources. This Stream Fish Inventory was conducted at North Cascades (NOCA) and Mount Rainier (MORA) National Parks to begin documenting fish species presence and distribution.
