Develop a Voluntary Participation Water Temperature Network Implementation Plan for the Ahklun Mountains and Bristol Bay Lowlands

Water temperature is one of the most significant factors in the health of stream ecosystems. Temperature plays a critical role in salmonid reproduction and survivorship and is an essential indicator for monitoring the health of Bristol Bay salmon habitats, which support vital subsistence, commercial and sport fisheries.
