Description, Outcome and Benefits: |
Elk Springs Creek
is located in Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The project retrofitted a culvert to facilitate movement
of spawning lacustrine Arctic graying upstream to suitable spawning
areas. This project opened up 12 acres and 1.5 miles of spawning
and rearing habitat. Evaluation and monitoring will be accomplished
by direct observation and enumeration of spawning Arctic grayling
in Elk Springs Creek. |
