The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership is a member of the Association of National Estuary Programs (ANEP).

Salmonid Monitoring

Oregon State University/Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (2006)

Oregon State University received $2,500 to support a student intern, who will work with ODFW on two fish monitoring projects. The North Coast Spring Chinook Stock Assessment has documented the relative abundance of spring chinook in the Wilson, Trask, and Nestucca rivers since 1965. The intern will work with ODFW to analyze spring chinook spawner escapement, distribution, hatchery/wild composition, pre-spawn mortality, age structure and sex composition. The Nestucca Hatchery Winter Steelhead Broodstock Evaluation surveys the Nestucca basin for evidence of hatchery steelhead residualization.

The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to the

conservation and restoration of Tillamook County's estuaries and watersheds in their entirety.
