The Alsea Logging and Aquatic Resources Study, commissioned by the
Oregon Legislature in 1959, marked the beginning of four decades of
research in the Pacific Northwest devoted to understanding the
impacts of forest practices on water quality, water quantity,
aquatic habitat, and aquatic organism popu- tions. While earlier
watershed research examined changes in runoff and erosion from
various land uses, this study was the first watershed experiment to
focus so heavily on aquatic habitat and organism response to forest
practices. The Alsea Watershed Study, as it came to be known,
extended over 15 years with seven years of pretreatment calibration
measurements, a year of treatment, and seven years of
post-treatment monitoring. The research was a cooperative effort
with scientists from Oregon State University, Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. Cooperating landowners included
the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, the U.S. Forest Service, and a
local rancher. It was a remarkable 15-year partnership marked by
excellent cooperation among the participants and outstanding
coordination among the scientists, many of whom participated
actively for the entire period.
