This website was created by Samantha Ureel and Whitney Newcomb for an advanced GIS course at Humboldt State University in the fall semester of 2016. After managing large datasets regarding the Eel River for professor James Graham and graduate student Emily Cooper over the previous summer, Samantha and Whitney went on to create this informational website.
The main purpose of this website was to provide Emily Cooper and any other scientist seeking to recollect data a reliable source of directions to each of her survey sites.
A portion of this website was created to showcase a report done showing the historical and current presence of Steelhead trout on the Eel River and its tributaries by Gordon S. Becker and Isabelle J. Reining for the California State Coastal Conservancy. The report was beautifully done and this is our way of showing appreciation for such dedicated work. We would like to thank Darren Mierau at CalTrout for bringing this paper to our attention.
