The Umpqua Cutthroat Science Team (UCST) is a voluntary group consisting of local biologists, science community members, Oregon State University, State and Federal agencies, private biologists and the Umpqua Watershed Council. Leadership of the team rests with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The UCST has no direct funding. Its role is to provide information and assist with the establishment of work priorities of those undertaking work on Umpqua Cutthroat trout.
UCST was formed as a result of the federal listing of Umpqua River Cutthroat trout on August 9, 1996. The primary goal of the team was to prepare a written report which identified the best available and relevant scientific information to parties involved in reviewing the status, and/or engaged in the recovery and restoration efforts for the Umpqua Cutthroat trout that lead to successful recovery of the species. Now that the Umpqua Cutthroat has been recommended for delisting, the team feels that there are many unanswered questions regarding the species and is committed to continuing work that will further develop knowledge of the species and enhance the population.
The UCST has created a computerized bibliography containing the location of documents, periodicals, theses and raw-data that contain information concerning the Umpqua Cutthroat trout. This bibliography is in Microsoft Excel format, for ease of accessibility, and Excel offers a filtering function. Using this function it is possible to search for the data that interests you. The bibliography has fields in it that can allow a person to search it for documents containing a full array of data pertaining to the Umpqua Cutthroat trout. Each field can be independently searched. The data has been compiled from files located in many different agencies. The agencies that data has been gathered from are as follows.
