Description: "The major objectives of the study were to: 1) describe existing salmonid spawning habitat conditions of the Unalakleet River; 2) determine spawning habitat-flow relationships for each salmon species in the wild portion of the Unalakleet River; and, 3) assess the change in available salmon spawning habitat with time and channel maintenance requirements to determine a flow regime that will protect those values for which the river was designated as 'wild'"--Page 3.
