Linking physical monitoring to coho and Chinook salmon populations in the Redwood Creek Watershed, California—Summary of May 3–4, 2012 Workshop

A workshop held on May 3–4, 2012, at Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) aimed to synthesize physical and biological data to better understand constraints on coho and Chinook salmon populations in the Redwood Creek watershed. Researchers and managers shared insights on freshwater and estuarine phases of salmon life cycles, highlighting the need for integrated monitoring approaches. Hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Status and Trends Program, the event was part of a broader project funded by the National Park Service's Inventory and Monitoring program to analyze salmon-related datasets across multiple park units in California. The workshop emphasized the importance of vital signs monitoring—key ecological indicators—to assess park health and inform resource management strategies.
