THE COQUILLE RIVER SYSTEM INCLUDES OVER 900 MILES OF FISH BEARING STREAMS. THE MAINSTEM COQUILLE RIVER ENCOMPASSES THE LONGEST ESTUARY IN OREGON (41 MILES) APART FROM THE COLUMBIA RIVER. THE COQUILLE WATERSHED INCLUDES FOUR MAJOR FORKS ORIGINATING FROM THE COAST RANGE THAT CONVERGE TO FORM THE MAINSTEM COQUILLE RIVER NEAR THE TOWN OF MYRTLE POINT, OR. HISTORICALLY, THE TRIBUTARIES AND FORKS OF THE COQUILLE PROVIDED EXCELLENT SPAWNING AND REARING HABITAT FOR ANADROMOUS FISH THAT WAS COOL, COMPLEX, AND ABUNDANT AND THE ESTUARY PROVIDED OPTIMAL OFF-CHANNEL REARING CONDITIONS FOR OUT-MIGRATING JUVENILES. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT PEAK ABUNDANCE OF RETURNING ADULT COHO TO THE COQUILLE WAS 412,000 RETURNING ADULTS (LAWSON ET AL. 2007), NOW CURRENT ESTIMATED ABUNDANCE IS AT 8% OF THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE. ACTIONS WILL BE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED THAT IMPROVE AND EXPAND HABITATS FOR SALMONIDS IN THE COQUILLE BASIN. PROJECTS WILL RESTORE FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY, INSTALL LARGE WOOD, CREATE OFF-CHANNEL HABITAT, REMOVE PASSAGE BARRIERS TO MIGRATORY FISH, AND PLANT RIPARIAN VEGETATION
