Lake Ozette Sockeye

Lake Ozette sockeye are one of six west coast sockeye salmon ESUs.  In 1999, they were listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  The listing was primarily attributed to concerns over abundance and effects of small population genetic and  demographic variability. In order to determine the actions required to fully recover Lake Ozette sockeye the factors limiting their survival must be thoroughly understood. 

The Lake Ozette Sockeye Limiting Factors Analysis and the Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan describe,in detail the Lake Ozette watershed ecosystem and the factors affecting the survival of sockeye salmon, as well as a comprehension set of recovery actions.   These documents are available at the NOAA-NMFS website (see link below).

Below there are two videos from our December 14, 2011 DIDSON survey for beach spawning Lake Ozette sockeye salmon.  I presented some of the preliminary results at the February 2012 Lake Ozette Sockeye Steering Committee Meeting.  The presentation is included below in two resolutions (low and moderate resolution).  Please note the video component of the presentation is currently disabled.  Please check back for updates, a high resolution version of the presentation will be posted here with video enabled.
