Title	Recommendations for the Development of the Navarro River Basin to Benefit Anadromous Fishes
Abstract	Several California rivers are being considered for water developments that would be detrimental to the Anadromous fishes using them. To compensate for this loss, several North Coastal streams have been set aside for possible developments to increase the runs of these fish. These streams include the Gualala, Garcia, Navarro, Big, Noyo, Ten Mile, Mattole, and South Fork of Eel Rivers, and Redwood Creek. The present report will consider developments to enhance the fisheries of the Navarro River. p1
Other Citation Details	Several undesirable conditions are present in the watershed at the present time. Possibly the greatest single hindrance to fish life is the logging operations, especially on the North Fork. Much of the slash is left on the ground and some is washed into the streams, thereby contributing to log jams and barriers. Large amounts of silt and debris are also washed into the stream from cut-over areas and logging roads. This debris covers spawning gravel and reduces food organisms. This tributary formerly was utilized to a large extent by both salmon and steelhead trout for spawning purposes. Although there is still a limited amount of spawning in the North Fork, the use had diminished in the past few years. The Masonite Corporation has built a road along areas of both the North and South Fork branches of the North Fork, and on some of their tributaries. This road system has, in many cases, restricted the channels of the streams. Shoulders of this road periodically sluff off into the stream during heavy rains, thereby contributing large amounts of sand and silt which is deposited along the bottom of the stream. p4-5
