Nevada City Community Outreach Meeting — Rotary Screw Traps in the Yuba
The Yuba Salmon Study is a collaborative planning and implementation program led by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries and California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW). The vision of this project is to reintroduce spring-run Chinook salmon to their historical habitat in the upper Yuba River watershed through a phased, science-based, and cost-effective reintroduction project that will inform future Central Valley reintroduction decisions.
In support of this effort, two rotary screw traps (RSTs) will be installed on the North Yuba River, one at Rocky Rest Campground at RM 25.6 and the other along Old Toll Bridge Road at RM 33.6 from October 2023 to May 2024.
Come learn more about this study and RSTs, get your questions answered, and meet some of the people behind this project.
