FOAM Lecture: Monitoring Humboldt’s Native Fisheries

Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center

Cal Poly Humboldt graduate students Olivia Boeberitz (green sturgeon), Rachel Hein (Chinook salmon), and Daniel Montoya (surf smelt) will enlighten you about these three high-use or data-limited species that inhabit the oceanic coasts, estuaries, and bays in Humboldt County. The students are collaborating with the Blue Lake Rancheria and the Pulikla Tribe of the Yurok People to monitor these native fishes in Humboldt County and investigate vital research questions about their life history, ecology, and habitat.Coastal California Native American Tribes have a deep cultural and traditional connection with these species, which play a crucial role in their food security and cultural heritage. However, overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change have caused major declines in the populations and diversity of these species; thus, determining their conservation status is a persistent goal.
