The Bureau of Reclamation and the US Geological Survey are teaming up on a study of the South Fork Boise River. Work began in the past few months with the goal of a better understanding of the spawning habitats.
Agency scientists are starting by gathering existing data, conducting sample location reconnaissance, and developing a sampling design for the project. The reason for this step is, “to provide statistical rigor to future sampling efforts, develop a consistent sampling plan, and determine the appropriate level of spatial and temporal sampling.”
