Description

Watershed Company fisheries biologists performed weekly stream surveys along Kelsey Creek and associated tributaries in the fall and winter from 2002 to 2009. Final reports detailing species composition, abundance, timing, and general distribution of spawning salmonids are prepared at the end of each survey season. The City of Bellevue used the findings to ascertain trends in abundance and habitat use from year to year so they could better classify fish use areas and prioritize conservation efforts.
