In late 2021, SYRCL was awarded a grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board to begin planning, permitting, and collecting base-line data for a salmonid rearing habitat restoration project at Upper Long Bar on the lower Yuba River. The team for this project is made up of Cramer Fish Sciences, cbec eco engineering, Silica Resources Inc., Yuba Water Agency, and it is being led by SYRCL. These are the same partners who worked together to implement the Lower Long Bar project and Rose Bar projects.
The Upper Long Bar Habitat Restoration Project’s goal is to improve the productivity, complexity, and diversity of anadromous salmonid rearing habitat within the Upper Long Bar area. These actions prioritize increased quantity and quality of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) rearing and over-summer habitat.
Pre-project monitoring was conducted from January 2022 through December 2023 giving us two full field seasons of data.
