2 BIOMONITORING OF THE EEL RIVER HEADWATERS RESTORATION SITES IN PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Kevin O Brion 1 Ellen Douglas 1 Alan Christian 1 Alex Hackman 2 1 University of Massachusetts Boston, Department of Environmental Earth and Ocean Sciences 2 Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration
3 River Restoration Exponential project growth As of 2005, spending > $1 Billion annually in U.S An essential tool in conservation A broad definition Bank stabilization, riparian planting, wholestream construction, dam removal Scientists needed to bridge gaps Pre- and post-monitoring lacking, but essential to success
4 Eel River Headwaters Restoration Goals: Restore coldwater stream habitat, reconnect floodplain, remove fish barriers, and establish diverse wetland communities and Atlantic White Cedar Conversion of former cranberry cultivation into 40 acres of diverse wetland Reconstruction of 1.7 miles of stream channel and floodplain Removal of berms and water control structures Replacement of undersized culverts Removal of Sawmill Pond Dam

13 Study Objective Compare and contrast establishment of resident fish and benthic macroinvertebrates under active and passive restoration conditions, and a reference condition. Two 100 meter stream reaches at each site Active - Eel River Headwaters (EEL 1, EEL 2) Passive - Tidmarsh Farms (BOG 1, BOG 2) Reference - Eel River South Branch (REF 1, REF 2)
14 Dams REF EEL BOG
15 Eel River Headwaters (Active) EEL 1 EEL 2 Eel River Constructed channel and habitats, variable substrate, abundant wetland/aquatic plants
16 Tidmarsh Farms (Passive) BOG 1 BOG 2 Tidmarsh Farms Abandoned in early 2000 s, left to succession, heavy vegetation and deep sediment
17 Eel River, South Branch (Reference) REF 1 REF 2 Reference Site Lowland stream, abundant habitat, cold, slight meander, shaded, substrate mix
18 Methods: Habitat Assessment EPA Habitat Assessment Basin Area Stream Survey (BASS) Semi-quantitative evaluation of physical habitat Geomorphic feature (Scour pool, Riffle, etc) Width/Depth (wetted, bank full) Substrate composition In-stream cover
19 Methods: Biomonitoring Monitoring the condition of an ecosystem using surveys or collections of resident biota, a biological photograph First sample collection in Sep-Oct 2010, second sampling in June 2011 Freshwater Fish Three-pass depletion method Population estimates Benthic Macroinvertebrates EPA Multihabitat Rapid Bioassessment Protocol Stratified Random Sampling
20 Results Macroinvertebrates Identification in progress, photos presented Basin Area Stream Survey (BASS) Habitat Survey Data Substrate and Instream Cover Fish Data Diversity, Evenness, Richness, Cluster Diagram

31 Future Objectives Compare pre-restoration fish and macroinvertebrate data from Eel River with collections from this study Evaluate the habitat available at Eel River headwaters restoration, based on the collections of fish and macroinvertebrates Establish initial response data for this restoration project Recommend modifications for biomonitoring protocols for restoration monitoring
