Implementation of the Whooping Crane Monitoring Protocol - Fall 2023 Final Report

A Sediment Augmentation Experiment Alternatives Screening Study (Screening Study) was conducted to evaluate alternatives to reduce the approximately 150,000-ton/year average annual sediment deficit in the Platte River reach between Lexington and Odessa, Nebraska. The Screening Study recommended that a Pilot Study be conducted to evaluate the means and methods of sediment augmentation as a way to reduce uncertainties associated with full-scale implementation.

Details of monitoring and research efforts of piping plovers and interior least terns on the central Platte River during 2023 by the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program.

The Executive Director’s Office (EDO) of the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (“Program” or “PRRIP”) enumerated and monitored whooping cranes during the spring 2023 migration using daily systematic aerial surveys along PRRIP’s Associated Habitat Reach on the central Platte River from Lexington to Chapman, Nebraska. Results from this monitoring effort are summarized in this report.

Implementation of the Whooping Crane Monitoring Protocol - Fall 2022 FINAL

The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (PRRIP or Program) requested written input from the Independent Science Advisory Committee (ISAC) on five questions. These questions were the focus of discussions during the ISAC meeting in Kearney, NE, held on July 13-15, 2015.

Last Revised June 8, 2022

This report documents the first implementation of the PRRIP System-Scale Geomorphology and Vegetation Monitoring effort utilizing remote sensing methods. The goal of the project is to track long-term trends in morphology and in-channel vegetation in the Associated Habitat Reach (AHR) of the Central Platte River, with a focus on changes that may affect habitat for the PRRIP target species.
