| Science and Technology Ongoing Projects: Fish Friendly FarmingŪ Program The Fish Friendly FarmingŪ Program seeks to improve habitat conditions for salmonids and other native aquatic species by educating land managers in environmentally beneficial practices and carrying out restoration and erosion control projects. >> read more Sonoma County Salmon Coalition The Sonoma County Salmon Coalition was formed to protect and enhance existing habitat, and to restore historic habitat; to promote recover and maintenance of salmonid fish populations and to create sustainable partnerships that identify and promote regional water enhancement programs while balancing the need to provide for regional economic viability and regulatory certainty. >> read more GIS Technical Support, Species Recovery Planning Documents The Geographic Information System (GIS) program of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Southwest Region provides technical support to all programs within the region. As such, the GIS program rarely functions independently but acts in conjunction with or in response to other office-wide projects. Currently, the most prominent project involving the GIS is the creation of Recovery Planning documents for steelhead, coho salmon, and Chinook salmon within California. GIS has become integral in conducting the essential analyses to aid in determining the current condition of the species’, the threats to the species, and potential recovery actions. The resulting documents will serve as guide posts to preserve and enhance the trust resources.
