Abstract
ProjectObjectives: (1) Continue established monitoring program that provides a basin-wide assessment of status and trends for aquatic life in wadeable streams associated with varying percentages of the watershed area enrolled to Conservation Reserve Enhanced Program (CREP) (i.e., CREP rate) in the Kaskaskia River Basin; (2)conducttargeted surveys in reaches with less-disturbed watersheds to improve coverage along the gradient of CREP rate within the basin; (3) continue monitoring of key fish populations within the KaskaskiaRiver; (4) continue monitoring of paired streams associated with different CREP rate; (5) engage in collaborative effort with IDNR to identify watersheds for suitable for land-use manipulation; (6) provide technical support for IDNR’s Private Lands Programs. This report summarizes work completed 7/1/2018 - 12/31/2018.
