Funded by the $6.2 million City/Army Corps of <br />Engineers partnership, this fish monitoring project and <br />other wildlife monitoring efforts are all part of the larger <br />effort to increase river flows through Delta Ponds and <br />provide better habitat for salmon and native plants and <br />animals. Other recent accomplishments at Delta Ponds <br />include the removal of 28 acres of ivy, blackberries and <br />other invasive species by mid-December, the completion <br />of a concrete path in the northern section of the ponds, <br />significant progress by several local Rotary clubs on an <br />extensive gravel path system in the same area, a <br />$250,000 appropriation from Congress for the restoration <br />and recreation project, and the addition of two new <br />project partners, PeaceHealth and Willamette <br />Riverkeeper. <br /> <br />For more information about the fish monitoring project, <br />call Laud Mullen, Delta Ponds habitat enhancement <br />coordinator, at 682-4925. For more information about <br />the larger Delta Ponds project, call Project Manager <br />Kevin Finney at 682-6018.
