California Fish Passage Short Course

Thu, Nov 15th 2007, all day
The Salmonid Restoration Federation (SRF), California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), and FishNet 4C will offer two intensive workshops for engineers, hydrologists, biologists, and environmental planners, and other staff who are involved in the design and implementation of fish passage projects. Each workshop will cover the design and implementation process, including biological considerations, site surveys and geomorphic assessment, state and federal fish passage design guidance, stream simulation design, grade control techniques, retrofitting existing crossings, monitoring and adaptation. Instructors include Michael Love, Ross Taylor, and Ken Kozmo Bates. In addition, DFG staff will provide instruction on the DFG/NOAA Fisheries design standards, and local county staff will be available to present case studies. The workshops include two days in the classroom, comprised of presentations, group exercises and local case studies and a third day will feature field visits to local projects, and a specialized half-day workshop targeted specifically for engineers to explore in more detail the calculations used to develop successful designs.
