Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project

By Allen Smith, Board Chairman & Volunteer Coordinator

We want to share with you some of this year¹s accomplishments from our volunteers, efforts and activities:

• January 2003: Repaired and replaced our incuba tor water distribution system that was damaged in winter of 2002.
• March 2003: An aggregate total of over 31,400 juvenile coho salmon were planted in Aptos,
  Pescadero, Scott, and Waddell Creeks. This was the most productive coho restoration effort in our 27 year project history. Additionally we planted over 47,000 steelhead in Scott Creek and
  the San Lorenzo River.
• April 2003: Approximately 3,600 eyed eggs were provided to 100 classrooms for the Salmon and Trout Education Program (STEP). We trained 4 new volunteers in fish care at MBSTP's fish rearing facility. MBSTP delivered 100 coho juveniles to NMFS-Science Center for Scott Creek Coho Captive Brood-Stock Program.
