Presentation Transcript

  1. Restoration Considerations

  2. Adult Holding • Pools, cover, and holding areas close to spawning areas (increase LWD and riparian cover) • Adequate cool water refuges (deep pools) • Increase LWD and riparian cover • Reduce excess sediment filling pools

  3. Spawning and Incubation • Reduce road, grazing, upland impacts, bank erosion (fines, temp, DO, scour) • Restore riparian areas (fines, scour, temp) • Remove channel confinement (scour)

  4. Summer and Winter Rearing • Restoration that improves/maintains • Temperature • Pools • Cover • Substrate size/embeddedness • Cool water refuge areas (off-channel or ground water)

  5. Conclusions and Key Points • It is important to understand habitat requirements when planning restoration. • Different restoration actions will address different habitat requirements. • Target the right life stage and focus on limiting factors. • Fish typically use the entire watershed, thus restoration/improvements need to ultimately restore the watershed.

  6. Conclusions and Key Points • Document approach for identifying current conditions and improvements due to restoration. • Acknowledge limitations of approach(es) used. • For long-term recovery need to couple short-term habitat improvement with long-term restoration.
