The Salmonid Restoration Federation is once again hosting the Spring-run
Chinook Symposium. This year we are thrilled to be working with the Salmon
River Restoration Council, the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council and others to
dovetail the Chinook Symposium with the annual Salmon River Spring-run
Chinook and Steelhead Survey. Running for four days, July 24 -27, this event
includes snorkel surveys, workshops, field tours and presentations on
Spring-run Chinook restoration. We encourage participants to stay and enjoy
the Jammin' for the Salmon benefit concert, Friday evening and Saturday
(July 27-28).

Please find attached a small PSA and a longer article about this fun and
informative event. I have also, for your convenience, pasted these documents
in the body of this email. Please see below.

Salmon River Dives and Spring-run Chinook Symposium, July 24-27

Nordheimer Campground, Salmon River, California 

The Salmonid Restoration Federation is proud to join with the Salmon River
Restoration Council and the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council in offering the
2nd Annual Spring-run Chinook Symposium in concert with the Salmon River
Spring Chinook and Summer Steelhead Dives. This year's event will take place
July 24-27 on the beautiful (Cal) Salmon River. SRF is pleased to offer this
opportunity for local landowners, restorationists, fisheries biologists and
agency staff to participate in the Salmon River Dives and the Chinook
Symposium including workshops, field tours and presentations on problems and
solutions specific to Spring-run Chinook. 

The Spring-run Chinook Symposium offers restoration practitioners training
and networking opportunities on issues affecting California's threatened
Spring-run Chinook populations. This Symposium will offer workshops and
tours on such topics as fish identification, snorkel surveys, fish habitat
improvement structures, fish barrier removal projects and Klamath dam
removal, bioengineering, macro-invertebrate sampling and technical
assistance for landowners and watershed groups. 

This year the Spring-run Chinook Symposium will coincide with the annual
Salmon River Spring Chinook and Summer Steelhead Dives. A locally organized
event, the dives bring together a coalition of agency personnel, tribal
members, and concerned citizens who form small teams to dive the entire
Salmon River within a couple days, in order to get a good estimate of the
salmonids holding in the Salmon River. The Salmon River Surveys are a focal
point in the effort to protect and restore Klamath Spring Chinook, bringing
together communities, tribes, academia and agencies in a cooperative
approach to recovery. Holding the Chinook Symposium in concert with the
dives will allow an educational cross-over for both events.

So come for the Dives and the Symposium and stay Saturday, July 28th for the
Jammin' on the Salmon benefit concert. For more information about this
exciting event please check out the Salmonid Restoration Federation website
at www.calsalmon.org <http://www.calsalmon.org/>  or call (707) 923-7501. 

If you have any questions, please call me at 707-923-7501.
