Applications Received
Permit 15169–3R
The National Park Service (NPS) is
seeking to renew a permit that would
authorize them to take juvenile and
adult CC Chinook salmon, CCC coho
salmon, and CCC steelhead as part of a
long-term monitoring program within
the NPS’s San Francisco Bay area
network. The research includes seven
studies within, or proximate to, NPS
lands in: Lagunitas Creek, Olema Creek,
Pine Gulch, Redwood Creek, and Rodeo
Creek, and Easkoot Creek in Marin
County; West Union and San Vicente
Creeks in San Mateo County; Alhambra

County; and Tomales Bay, CA. Study 1
monitors salmonid smolt outmigration.
Study 2 is a juvenile salmonid diet
composition study. Study 3 is a spawner
survey study. Study 4 focuses on
summer/fall juvenile salmonid
distribution, population abundance, and
habitat monitoring. Study 5 is a juvenile
salmonid winter habitat utilization
study. Study 6 uses a floating resistanceboard weir-trap to monitor adult
