The Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a grant to conduct a reproductive success study on Abernathy Creek, specifically focusing on the number of steelhead spawning downstream from the Abernathy FTC facility. With a funding of $39,171, a weir will be installed at the mouth of the creek to effectively measure the steelhead population. This grant aims to gather essential data on the reproductive success of hatchery versus wild steelhead in Abernathy Creek.

| Category Explanation:: | Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) will install and operate a resistance board weir near river mile 0.8 on Abernahty Creek between October 2011 and June 2012. Weir will be operated for the duration of this time, except when high flows submerge the weir. Weir status (fishing, submerged) will be noted on a daily basis. Weir operation between October and Juanuary depends on funding for the Intensively Montitored Watershed Study (Salmon Recovery Funding Board), which has been secured for the 2011-2012 trapping season. |

| Description:: | A reproductive success study has been in place for numerous years on Abernathy Creek in order to determine the relative reproductive success of hatchery versus wild steelhead. during the most recent ISRP review it was recommended that information to determine the number of steelhead spawing in Abernathy Creek downstream from the Abernathy FTC facility was required. Of all the potential options it was determined that a weir crossing the creek at the mouth would be the most effective means of measurement. The FWS will provide $39,171 for the work identified in the scope of work on order to obtain sampling of Abernathy Creek steelhead. |
