Methods, Protocols and Guidelines

Fish Passage Monitoring Survey

The Forum is interested in obtaining the information regarding any monitoring organizations have conducted in association with completed fish passage projects, and would greatly appreciate you helping us gather this information by filling out this new Fish Passage Barrier Removal Performance Measures & Monitoring Worksheet (PDF).

Once completed, please return this form to info@cafishpassageforum.org. 

Fish Passage Incidental Feild Form

To standardize first-pass data entry sheets and to help with collecting fast and incidental in-stream structure information, the Fish Passage Forum developed a California Fish Passage Forum-Fish Passage Incidental Report. This one-page form is not intended to replace any approved protocols for fish passage at road crossings; rather it should serve to collect barrier data while performing general stream assessments and restoration work, and for inventorying for fish passage of structures other than culverts.
