Kenai Watershed Forum

The Kenai Watershed Forum has visited more than 50 streams and lakes throughout the central Kenai Peninsula to determine where anadromous fish, such as salmon, can be found. The initiative aims to increase the number of streams and rivers protected under the state's Fish and Game’s Anadromous Waters Catalog.

Our guest this week is the new executive director of the Kenai Watershed Forum, Trent Dodson.

The project is a partnership between the Kenai Watershed Forum and the local chapter of Trout Unlimited to add more streams into the state’s Anadromous Waters Catalog.

For six weeks during the summer, volunteers and Kenai Watershed Forum employees turn out rain or shine to the North Kasilof Beach at the mouth of the Kasilof River to clean up the non-natural materials left behind during the fishing season.

The idea is to have a simultaneous snapshot of the health of the river at over a dozen different points.
