<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Incidentally, the KBMP website also hosts the
<b>Klamath Fish Health Assessment Team</b> (KFHAT) webpage. </span><a href="http://www.kbmp.net/collaboration/kfhat">http://www.kbmp.net/collaboration/kfhat</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
KFHAT is a technical workgroup which formed during the summer of 2003 with the purpose of providing early warning and a coordinated response effort to avoid, or at least address non-hazardous materials related fish kill event in the Klamath River basin below
Iron Gate dam. To accomplish this goal, KFHAT created a network where information about current river and fish health conditions in the Klamath Basin can be quickly shared among participants, the general public, and resource managers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
KFHAT utilizes a color coded system of readiness levels to communicate the current conditions in the Klamath River and its tributaries, and the current potential for a fish kill. The readiness levels range from green, no immediate foreseeable problems, to
red, a die-off is imminent or occurring. Movement between readiness levels is based upon the best professional judgment of KFHAT members using the most current information on water quality and fishery conditions in the basin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
Currently, the readiness level is yellow, signaling the need for heightened awareness and frequent communication of river and fishery conditions. The decision to move to yellow was based upon the unprecedented 2012 estimated run size of over 380,000 salmonids
expected to enter the Klamath River. To give some perspective, the in-river run size in 2002, when the fish kill occurred, was 161,000. The predicted returns may be the highest on record (record began in 1978). Because of varying weather conditions in the
Klamath Basin and the predicted large salmonid return, KFHAT members will be constantly monitoring the river and fishery this season to alert resource managers if it appears that fish health is deteriorating. In addition, the Trinity River flow group is conducting
advance planning to determine ways to keep flows in the Klamath estuary above 2,800 cfs this fall.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
