Watershed Monitoring Consultant for the Siuslaw Coho Partnership
As a component of the Siuslaw Coho Partnership’s (SCP) Focused Investment Partnership (FIP) initiative, we plan to carry out implementation and ecological effectiveness monitoring efforts directed by a Monitoring Plan. The primary deliverable of this project is a complete Monitoring Plan. While the SCP has developed a thorough Monitoring Framework as a component of our Strategic Action Plan, there is a need for the development and finalization of a full Monitoring Plan to strategically guide our efforts throughout the duration of our FIP initiative and beyond. The Monitoring Plan is expected to be completed by May 2024, in time for pre-implementation monitoring of restoration projects in Summer 2024. The Monitoring Plan will cover all restoration strategies in the SCP’s Strategic Action Plan, across the SCP’s priority geography. All monitoring efforts will be advised by OWEB, the SCP’s FIP Technical Review Team, and the SCP’s Monitoring Committee, which includes representatives of the: Siuslaw Watershed Council, Siuslaw Soil and Water Conservation District (SSWCD), Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI), McKenzie River Trust (MRT), and Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians (CTSI). All organizations represented are core partners in the SCP and offer complementary areas of expertise in our initiative monitoring efforts.
