NotesSpring Chinook runs in the South Umpqua have had steep declines. This study considers whether the population is viable, and concludes that it is, provided there is no further habitat degradation or loss. If habitat quality continues to decline, the run faces "almost certain extinction within 100 years." (from Abstract)
