Who: NOAA-Fisheries, Watershed Councils, US Forest Service, Tribes, NGOs
What: Salmon-Related Watershed Restoration
Where: Oregon Coast Range
State and federal agencies, including NOAA-Fisheries, Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and US Forest Service, in cooperation with tribes and NGOs, are committed to restoring coho salmon habitats in watersheds along the Oregon Coast Range.
They are funding NetMap analyses of key watershed processes using LiDAR DEMs involving fish habitats, floodplains, riparian processes, landslide potential and forest roads.
Restoration Targets:
In-Stream, Riparian, Forest Roads, Landslides
Who: Federal & State Agencies, University, Private Sector
What: Advanced Resource Management and Research
Where: Alaska
Tongass and Chugach National Forests, US Geological Survey, The Nature Conservancy, Ecotrust, Fish & Wildlife Service, University of Alaska, The Wilderness Society and Sealaska are engaging TerrainWorks to build improved and functional synthetic river networks to support resource management, research, restoration and conservation across tens of millions of acres in Alaska, from Southeast to the Arctic.
Applications for improved synthetic river networks and NetMap’s Virtual watersheds in Alaska.
Who: Alberta Provincial Government
What: Management of Critical Freshwater Fishery Resources
Where: Rocky Mountain Foothills
Alberta Forest Management Branch, Foothills Research Institute, University of Alberta and West Fraser have contracted with TerrainWorks to build NetMap virtual watersheds to support forest road improvements in critical fish habitat watersheds and advanced forest management planning over millions of hectares.
NetMap’s forest road analysis identifies locations where new road drainage features and road surfacing (gravel) will maximize and optimize reductions in runoff and sediment delivery to critical fish habitats.
Advanced numerical modeling is applied to predict runoff and sediment delivery to streams.
Who: US Forest Service and State Partners
What: Post Wildfire Forest Management
Where: Los Padres and Angeles National Forests, So. California; Malheur National Forest, eastern Oregon
The National Fish & Wildlife Foundation in cooperation with the US Forest Service funded development of NetMap Virtual Watersheds and Smart Stream Layers to support post-wildfire forest management and watershed restoration in the Los Padres and Angeles National Forests. Watershed resources of interest included fish habitats, riparian zones, sediment pollution and forest roads.
Use of NetMap tools can identify which road segments in a burned watershed will have increased hydrologic connectivity.
