Takshanuk Watershed Council (TWC) recently published a report on historic aquatic habitat projects in the Haines area.  You can find the report here: Haines Habitat Project Inventory

The goal of this project is to:
1. Develop a habitat improvement project inventory
2. Evaluate a subset of the projects to inform future habitat improvement practices
3. Identify projects that require additional habitat improvement actions 

This report is intended to be a “living” document. Over time, existing projects will be re-evaluated, and new projects will be assessed and added to the inventory.

This project originated as an inquiry from members of the Upper Lynn Canal Fish and Game Advisory Committee, who were looking for a resource to inform their assessments of the ongoing Haines Highway reconstruction and the associated habitat mitigation projects.  Funding was provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.  Special thanks to Neil Stichert, now with the US Forest Service, for helping to get things off the ground; and also to Jenn Hamblen, who now works for USGS, for doing the initial “field work” gathering together hundreds of old fish habitat permits from the ADF&G Habitat Section offices in Juneau.
Any comments on this report, or suggestions for future efforts, are always welcome.
