Sponsors and Cooperators for KRIS Klamath-Trinity

Trinity County Resource Conservation District http://www.tcrcd.net/
The Trinity County Resource Conservation District (TCRCD) is responsible for the updating and production of KRIS Version 3.0, with the assistance of Kier Associates and funding from the Trinity River Restoration Program. The Trinity County RCD is actively involved in restoring the Trinity River watershed and contributed from its own files restoration reports, photos and a wealth of map data.

U. S. Bureau of Reclamation http://www.usbr.gov/

The Trinity River Basin Fisheries Restoration Program and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation funded Version 2.0 of KRIS and indirectly funded Version 3.0 as the fiscal agent for the Trinity River Restoration Program. The Bureau also provided photos and reports for use in KRIS. The Klamath Falls BOR Office supplied Lost River and Upper Klamath Lake data.

Yurok Tribe http://www.yurok.com/
The Yurok Tribe Restoration Office in Orick, California shared their photos of Lower Klamath Basin restoration projects. The Yurok Tribal Fisheries Program provided data and reports for Lower Klamath tributaries, for riverine species such as the green sturgeon, Pacific Lamprey and eulachon, and data related to the mainstem Klamath River flow study. The Yurok Tribe Environmental Protection Department contributed water quality data for the mainstem and Lower Klamath tributaries.


Karuk Tribe http://www.pcweb.net/karukdnr/
The Karuk Tribe Fisheries Department was a very active contributor to KRIS Version 3.0, including information of all types for the Middle Klamath Basin, which is Karuk ancestral territory. The photos of juvenile fish, especially green sturgeon, are valuable additions. The Karuk Tribe Natural Resource staff also provided photos of Tribe-sponsored erosion control projects.

 

Hoopa Tribe http://www.hoopa-nsn.gov/
The Hoopa Tribe are active participants in the Klamath and Trinity River Restoration Programs and have provided useful data and reports to the KRIS project. New data in Version 3.0 include mainstem redd counts in the lower Trinity River and creel census data. The Hoopa Tribe also sponsors scientific reports from McBain and Trush on Trinity River hydrology, sediment transport and restoration project success, which are a cornerstone of the KRIS Bibliography for the Trinity Basin.

 

California State Water Resources Control Board http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/

Funding for the KRIS Version 1.0 project was provided by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) through the 319H grant program. Funding from these grants was also applied to numerous water quality improvement projects. The North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB) provided data, photos and reports for KRIS.

 

U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service http://pacific.fws.gov/yreka/
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Klamath Restoration Program office in Yreka was the original administrator of the KRIS project.

The USFWS Arcata Office contributed substantial amounts of information about salmon and steelhead, including data, reports and photos. http://arcata.fws.gov/

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency http://www.epa.gov/
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is actively engaged in the Klamath Basin, and reports and data from the agency are included in KRIS Version 3.0.

Salmon River Restoration Council http://www.srrc.org
The Salmon River Restoration Council (SRRC) gave extraordinary support to the KRIS project again in Version 3.0. SRRC staff not only provided data, photos and reports but also created Topics within KRIS and assisted the Karuk Tribe in Middle Klamath updates. SRRC used the new KRIS Map Viewer inventively to create an array of map images for the KRIS CD and the Internet.


Shasta River Cooperative Resource Management Planning (CRMP) Group http://users.snowcrest.net/shastacrmp/
Shasta Valley landowners have formed a CRMP in order to facilitate restoration activities and to monitor and evaluate stream conditions. The Shasta CRMP has provided photos, data and reports for use in KRIS, including Version 3.0, despite no budget for such cooperation. The new CRMP reports on reestablishing irrigation after dam removal on the Fiock Ranch, and new screen design on the Nelson Ranch, are examples of this community's dedication and innovation.

Siskiyou Resource Conservation District http://www.sisqtel.net/~sisqrcd/RCDmain.html
The Siskiyou Resource Conservation District (RCD) was a sponsor and contributor to Versions 1.0 and 2.0, with water temperature data collected and provided from 1995-1999. The RCD also contributed photos of dozens of restoration projects in the Scott River basin and provided information for captions for KRIS Tours. Those photos include successful French Creek erosion control and mainstem riparian restoration projects.

California Department of Fish and Game http://www.dfg.ca.gov/
The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) provided unprecedented amounts of useful information for Version 3.0 of KRIS. The Trinity and Natural Stocks Assessment Programs in Arcata provided data and reports on basin-wide salmon and steelhead escapement and on the Klamath River estuary. The Steelhead Monitoring and Assessment Program (S-RAMP) in Arcata, Yreka and Weaverville all provided high quality data and reports about steelhead throughout the Klamath-Trinity Basin. CDFG Region 1 in Redding provided a report on the September 2002 Fish Kill and its causes.

USDA Forest Service http://www.r5.fs.fed.us/
The KRIS project owes a great deal to many cooperators from the National Forests throughout the Klamath-Trinity Basin. The Klamath National Forest provided a huge store of temperature data for Version 3.0. Six Rivers National Forest continues to share very useful data and reports on Lower Trinity tributaries, lower South Fork Trinity and Middle Klamath tributaries. Shasta-Trinity National Forest supplied data on summer steelhead counts in the Middle Trinity for V 3.0.

Redwood Sciences Lab http://www.rsl.psw.fs.fed.us
The Pacific Southwest Region Experimental Station in Arcata, California, known as the Redwood Sciences Lab, generously shared their scientific literature and data.

Institute for Forest and Watershed Management http://www.humboldt.edu/~ifwm/
The Institute for Forest and Watershed Management (IFWM), formerly the Forest Science Project, is dedicated to the acquisition, compilation, dissemination, and application of knowledge about the sustainable management of ecological systems in the forests and watersheds of Northern California. The breadth of temperature data in KRIS Version 3.0 was greatly expanded because of the efforts of IFWM. Their work in acquiring and organizing data from diverse sources is very beneficial.

 

South Fork Trinity River Land Conservancy http://wriver.mystarband.net/ The South Fork Trinity River Land Conservancy was established to promote the protection, restoration and preservation of the South Fork Trinity River watershed. SFTRLT contributed pictures and captions of proposed Wilderness Area expansions and Salmon Restoration Areas. These photos were included in Version 3.0 because they show landscape conditions in, and adjacent to, what constitute salmon refugia. SFTRLT works cooperatively with the California Wilderness Coalition (http://www.calwild.org/) and the California Wild Heritage Campaign (http://www.californiawild.org/wild/Wild_Places_NCCWHWA.html).

American Fisheries Society http://www.fisheries.org/html/Publications.shtml  

The American Fisheries Society (AFS) allowed inclusion of some of its journal articles in the CD version of the KRIS Version 3.0 Bibliography. AFS has posted recent journals on the Internet, and the entire contents of these journals are available with a subscription. Article abstracts may be viewed at no cost. All AFS journal articles in KRIS are still fully covered by copyright and may not be reused without written permission from AFS.
