Proposal title	Coastal Cutthroat Movements in the Columbia River Estuary
Proposal ID	30009
Organization	U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Proposal contact person or principal investigator
Name	Joseph Zydlewski
Mailing address	US Fish and Wildlife Service, CRFPO, 9317 Highway 99, Suite I Vancouver, WA 98665
Phone / email	3606967605 / joe_zydlewski@fws.gov
Manager authorizing this project	Howard Schaller
Review cycle	Columbia Estuary
Province / Subbasin	Columbia Estuary / Columbia Estuary
Short description	Juvenile and adult cutthroat trout from four Columbia River tributaries will be tagged. Movements will be monitored by aerial surveys (radio tags) or a tethered array (acoustic tags). Data will be analyzed using the CORIE model for physical parameters.
Target species	Coastal cutthroat trout, southwest Washington/Columbia River Distinct Population Segment (DPS), currently being considered for listing.
