West Fork provided field support to Seattle Public Utilities to implement an acoustic telemetry study tracking adult bull trout, rainbow trout and pygmy whitefish in Chester Morse Lake, a reservoir managed to supply drinking water to the City of Seattle.
West Fork recently completed two studies testing the ability of cutthroat trout to ascend corrugated metal culverts using an experimental test flume.

West Fork Environmental recently concluded two studies on the passage of resident coastal cutthroat trout through corrugated metal culverts. This research was conducted at the culvert test bed facility located at the Skookumchuck fish hatchery operated by WDFW.
