AbstractGIS Support For Long-term Sockeye Salmon Habitat Restoration, Quinault RiverTrack: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs Author The side channels of the Upper Quinault River have been the traditional spawning habitat for the Quinault Indian Nation's signature sockeye salmon - the Quinault Blueback. Much of this habitat has been lost or degraded. Currently there is a long-term effort underway to restore this habitat, involving the use of engineered logjams. An initial pilot project involving the placment of thirteen of these ELJ's has been put in place at Alder Creek. This presentation seeks to show how GIS has been used to analyze and visualize the geomorphic changes in the Upper Quinault's floodplain and how it is being used to plan further developments.
