Description
The lower white river is home to many native fishes, is frequently used by endangered big river fishes of the upper colorado basin (UCB), has some of the best remaining cottonwood galleries and in-stream habitat across the tributaries of the UCB, and is home to an active beaver population. Beaver activity provides many ecosystem services commonly associated with river conservation and restoration, namely maintaining and enhancing complex in-stream habitat by providing inputs of large woody debris. Yet, the status of the beaver population remains unknown, adding uncertainty to the FUTUR4E condition of in-steam habitat. The lower white river, UT, is currently in a state of high-quality condition, but invasive plants threaten the river s condition and are therefore being mechanically removed as part of a large river restoration effort, where we are implementing an adaptive, science-based conservation, restoration, and monitoring plan for the lower white river (the plan). The proposed project is a component of the plan, with the specific goals of the work proposed herein are to explore the effectiveness of: 1.) utilizing large wood mechanically removed as part of phase i of the plan for beaver mimicry, to support on-going beaver activity and large wood recruitment into the river and 2.) to estimate the population size and distribution of the existing beaver population, to inform future phases of the plan, as well as related restoration activities underway in other UCB tributaries (e.g., price and SAN rafael rivers, where beavers are translocated to aid in restoration). We currently have a proposal under review to the utah s watershed restoration initiative (WRI) for implementing phase i of the plan. The proposed desert fish habitat partnership project is complementary to, but not dependent on the WRI funding.
