Fisheries Management

Stillwater Sciences provides fisheries management solutions by combining innovative geographic information system (GIS) models with targeted field studies. Stillwater maintains the highest scientific standards by collaborating with researchers at U.C. Berkeley and other university academics and expert scientists.

Fisheries management solutions developed by Stillwater are an important part of the following processes and regulatory requirements:

  • Hydroelectric project relicensing
  • Timber harvest planning
  • CEQA and NEPA review
  • Endangered Species Permits and Habitat Conservation Plans
  • Regional river basin planning
  • Watershed analyses
  • Other land use planning

Stillwater's staff includes highly qualified and experienced fisheries biologists, aquatic and terrestrial biologists, hydrologists, geomorphologists, sediment transport engineers, and GIS experts. Stillwater’s scientists and engineers work together to develop an integrated understanding of physical and biological processes, and apply leading-edge technology to solve fish population and habitat problems in the context of the overall river ecosystem.
