This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (CFDA 15.517) will provide $449,324 to the Karuk Tribe of California to monitor juvenile salmon survival and migration patterns in the Klamath River basin over 4 years from 2023-2026. The project will use acoustic tags to track wild and hatchery-raised Chinook salmon released at multiple locations in the Scott, Salmon, Trinity, and Klamath Rivers. An array of 32...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, funds research to evaluate the contribution of a chinook salmon outplanting program in Oregon's North Santiam River. The recipient, Oregon State University, will assign 2021-2024 adult chinook salmon returns to previously sampled fish, estimate lifetime fitness and reproductive success, and determine the effects of release strategies on adult...
This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Central Valley Improvement Act, Title XXXIV (CFDA 15.512) provides $581,433 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) from July 18, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The purpose is to benefit the public through the conservation and recovery of the federally-listed steelhead trout species in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River watersheds. The project will leverage UC Davis' research expertise in...
The federal Cooperative Agreement award "THE DETECTION OF NON-NATAL REARING OF CHINOOK SALMON IN THE SACRAMENTO RIVER USING ENVIRONMENTAL DNA" is funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) program (CFDA 15.648). The $117,500 award supports a project that utilizes environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to improve understanding of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) rearing patterns in the Sacramento River system....
The University of California, Davis will analyze 281 otoliths collected from Battle Creek from 2001 to 2020 under a $119,628 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8. The analysis will determine habitat use and migratory patterns of Battle Creek spring-run Chinook salmon to leverage similar datasets from other Central Valley tributaries. This will synthesize how ESA-listed spring-run Chinook salmon populations in the Central Valley use...
The University of California San Diego, through its Scripps Institution of Oceanography division, was awarded a $259,996 cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to evaluate ocean demographic parameters and salmon stock forecasts. Funded through NOAA's $11.4 million Sea Grant Support program, the two-year project will develop hierarchical models integrating cohort data across California salmon stocks. Researchers will reconstruct past cohorts, estimate...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the San Joaquin River Restoration Program (CFDA 15.555) will provide $549,995.50 to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct genetic analysis of Chinook salmon populations being reintroduced into the San Joaquin River. The project aims to enhance the abundance and diversity of the Chinook salmon species and contribute to their recovery in the region. UCSC will establish a comprehensive genetic identification and monitoring system to evaluate the outcomes of management actions and progress toward restoration goals. This work is critical to ensuring the success of the broader San Joaquin River Restoration Program by managing the genetic diversity and fitness of the reintroduced salmon population. The award period runs from November 12, 2024 to November 12, 2029.
