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.

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).
