  • Designing for Sturgeon Passage in the San Joaquin River at the Eastside Bypass Control Structure (Phase 2)

    This project deployed an acoustic telemetry array to track White Sturgeon movement and habitat use in the San Joaquin River Restoration Area downstream of the Eastside Bypass Control Structure in Merced County, in order to inform fish passage design improvements to that structure for the benefit of White Sturgeon, Green Sturgeon, and spring-run Chinook salmon.…

  • Native Fish Passage in the San Joaquin River at the Eastside Bypass Control Structure

    This project provided technical assistance, environmental permitting, and compliance support for the physical modification of the Eastside Bypass Control Structure (EBCS) on the San Joaquin River in Merced County — a gated flood control structure identified as a significant low-flow passage barrier within the San Joaquin River Restoration Program’s Restoration Area. By funding the renewal…

  • Designing for Sturgeon Passage in San Joaquin Eastside Bypass (Phase 1)

    This project used acoustic telemetry monitoring of White Sturgeon in the San Joaquin River Restoration Area to directly inform the design of fish passage improvements at the Eastside Bypass Control Structure (EBCS) in Merced County. By tracking when, where, and how adult White Sturgeon move through the restoration area relative to the EBCS — a…
