Brezee Creek Monitors

We test on a tributary of the East Fork of the Lewis River called, Brezee Creek. Where do we Test?

Our Hypothesis If there are an increased number of returning salmon then Brezee Creek shows to be a suitable tributary for salmon because our water quality results show to be an optimized habitat for salmon.

Turbidity Turbidity is the amount of sediment the water. Having a lot of sediment in the water can suffocate salmon, especially the eggs.

Temperature Temperature is an important aspect of salmon life because having a temperature too high or too low will be an unviable habitat for salmon. This chart shows the temperatures we had as an average for site 1.

Dissolved Oxygen Dissolved Oxygen is the amount of oxygen in that’s in the water. Having fast moving water can help get the oxygen in the water like when you see rapids or the white caps in a stream.

What have we done? ● The Environmental Studies Class at La Center School has monitored a remote site incubator (RSI) for salmon for the past four years ● We have worked with Les Greear, our Fish First salmon restoration guide to install, monitor, and care for chum salmon at our RSI. Les guides us through the process of connecting 300 feet of pipeline to a trough and incubator staged by Brezee Creek. ● High School classes and 4 th grade classes have monitored two sites on the tributary known as Brezee Creek and test each month.

What is the Importance? The importance is keeping our streams a viable habitat for not only salmon but all of the wildlife in our wetlands. The wetlands need to be healthy so it can filter pollutants out of the water. As well as teaching the importance of environmental awareness to future generations.
