Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife and Wetlands Restoration Association (PCFWWRA)

Fish passage and habitat features design projects completing engineered designs for both Fish passage at road crossings and Restoration of off-channel Wetlands and instream features to provide critical habitat for native salmon and other aquatic species. Extensive field survey information is needed in a process to develop 100% designs. Project design to standards suitable for consideration for funding agencies currently requires certification by registered engineers, adding significant costs to develop projects. Projects located in little river, lindsay cr. (mad river tributaries) and rowdycreek in del norte co.projects: q2210516, q2210519, q2210521 and q1910524

Rare plant surveys and wetland delineation mapping. These projects provided survey information and mapping documenting the presence or absence of protected species of rare plants and jurisdictional Wetlands as needed by public agencies to design and permit habitat Restoration projects. Information was provided to the city of arcata, city of eureka and the nonprofit ducks unlimited to assist in implementing larger projects being developed under their jurisdiction. Projects elk river/city of eureka and California native plant society (cnps7046)

Watershed assessment and project design. This projects involves completion of extensive field survey work to identify sites with the potential for future sediment delivery to stream channels in the sproul creek watershed. Field data is used to develop a prioritized plan for projects in the watershed that can be implemented to reduce future erosion affecting aquatic resources. Specialized geological consultants provide supervision and quality assurance for the projects. These projects involved cooperative efforts with public agencies and private landowners.

Implementation of instream and estuary habitat Restoration projects. These newly funded implementation projects require significant effort to secure required permits from multiple permitting agencies before any implementation activity is allowed. Both of these implementation projects were in the permitting phase in 2022 & 2023. Projects located in little river, canon creek & lindsay creek (mad river tributaries) and ryan creek (humboldt bay).projects: q2010508, q2010522, q2110514, q2210513, q2210517, q2210518 and q2210526
