Meta Identifier	GOGABigLagoon95
Type of Data	Fish counts and habitat use
Originator	Golden Gate National Recreation Area, NPS
Description	Electrofishing (two-pass), beach seining, and snorkel surveys (one-pass, two-person team) were used to determine fish abundance and cover type association. Water visibility, length class, species, and abundance were recorded. Physical information recorded included stream discharge or gauge height, air and water temperature, as well as length, area, and volume of the sampled unit. Regarding snorkel surveys, multiple passes were attempted but failed due to visibility problems.

Maint. and Update Freq.	One-time
Purpose	To determine habitat use by juvenile salmonids during the late-winter in Big Lagoon. To estimate juvenile salmonid abundance between late-winter and fall in Big Lagoon and lower Redwood Creek.
Data Quality Information	In general, snorkel estimates were not calibrated with more accurate methods of determining abundance and length class.
Use Constraints	Fish abundance may be underestimated due to visibility problems associated with snorkeling.
Counties	Marin
Title	Usage of Lower Redwood Creek and Big Lagoon by Juvenile Coho Salmon and Steelhead
