The document provides information about conducting spawning surveys of salmon and trout in Johnson Creek for the Johnson Creek Watershed Council. It introduces the Restoration Project Manager and gives background on past spawning survey results, noting a general increase in the number of carcasses and live fish found each year since 2010. The purpose of the document is to outline the mission for volunteers to continue annual spawning surveys to monitor the salmon and trout populations.

Editor's Notes
- [Change logo to white] Who We Are: The JCWC. Watershed passes through several jurisdictions, which mean salmon pass through those jurisdictions and restoring salmon involves those jurisdictions. We promote restoration and stewardship of the watershed, working with many partner orgs and our essential citizen volunteers.
- Several salmon & trout found here. Coho, steelhead, & Chinook all threatened. Coho = focus here.
- There were reports of spawning salmon; we wanted to scientifically document this. Helps us get funding for restoration—helps show that JC is a priority, and which areas should be priorities within the watershed. (Next slide: map with spawning locations added: we think if we remove some of the culverts, spawning habitat will be dramatically increased. These spawning surveys have helped us figure out where the salmon might want to go, if they could.)
- Crystal Springs restoration was completed in 2014.
- Some examples of culvert problems. We’ve surveyed most culverts in the watershed and will be replacing the first ones next summer. Spawning surveys are crucial to this process. [Pic of Crystal Springs bridge]
