Fishery Habitat Characterization and Identification of Restoration Opportunities: Stevens Creek

Valley Water requires experienced, and qualified firms to provide professional services to characterize existing habitat conditions using field data collection and topographic surveys as the basis for ecohydraulic habitat modeling and bioenergetics modeling for salmonids in the Stevens Creek watershed. Goal 1: Accurately Quantify Spatiotemporal Habitat Capacity for CCC Steelhead · Objective 1.1: Move beyond static acreage by outputting models that translate depth and velocity directly into Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) parameters (abundance, productivity, spatial structure, and diversity) to evaluate carrying capacity against recovery targets for Stevens Creek steelhead. · Objective 1.2:…
