Type of DataGarcia tributary McNeil sediment sampling data, using wet sieve methods
OriginatorCharlotte Morrison
DescriptionWet sieve McNeil data were collected by Charlotte Morrison both as an independent biological consultant and for Coastal Forest Lands as part of their Sustained Yield Plan. Data were collected for the upper mainstem Garcia, Mill Creek, Redwood Creek (trib of Mill), Inman, Signal, and NF Garcia. samples were taken from 1994 to 1996).

NotesData from Inman, Signal and Redwood Creeks were transcribed from reports. Raw data were available for Inman and Redwood while only summary (average) data were provided in paper.

PurposeTo determine habitat conditions for salmonid spawning.
Data Quality InformationData were analyzed using wet-sieve methods, which also includes weight of water. Two locations with four samples per location provide an index of sediment conditions but the sample size is small.
Use ConstraintsThese data do not provide enough sampling representation to be considered as definitive information on salmonid spawning conditions in the creeks surveyed as a whole. Morrison used 4.0 mm not 6.4 mm as the sand-sized sieve, so under-represents sand.
Supplemental InformationReports from Morrison on the Maillard Ranch (1994), Inman Creek (Morrison, 1994b) and Signal Creek (Morrison, 1996).
