The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $137,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife (CFDA 15.631) program to the Watershed Research and Training Center (WRTC) to improve fish passage in West Tule Creek, California. The project aims to remove a private agricultural diversion concrete dam, reduce diversion rates, and install an improved fish screen to enhance habitat for all species and life stages of anadromous fish. Key activities include removing the existing fish barrier dam, installing an engineered roughened channel, replacing the diversion and fish screen, and monitoring stream flow, temperature, and diversion. The project leverages additional funding sources for stream flow monitoring and is a collaboration between WRTC, USFWS, and other partners. The award period is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027.
