About the Middle Fork John Day Intensively Monitored Watershed
What we do
|
The IMW identifies how river restoration projects benefit salmon in an entire watershed over many years. This video, produced by the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office in Washington, explains how monitoring helps scientists measure how fish respond to river restoration and compare that response to a river where no projects have taken place. By comparing the two over time, scientists can better understand how rivers and fish recover from degradation.

Our team
|
The Middle Fork John Day River Intensively Monitored Watershed (Middle Fork IMW) is a collaborative effort. Our partners include private landowners, universities, Federal and state natural resource management agencies, tribal entities, and non-profit organizations working together to implement river restoration projects and track their progress. The IMW Working Group is a subset of individuals from these organizations. We meet monthly and are directly engaged in planning the IMW’s activities and assessing the outcomes of restoration in the Middle Fork watershed.
