Approach
Increase fish habitat resilience to disturbance
Tactics
- Improve riparian habitat by increasing complexity (use fish-friendly vegetation treatments).
- Create fuel breaks near riparian zones or consider fuel treatments in riparian zones (in dry forest ecosystems) to reduce fire hazard.
- Reconnect floodplains; improve hydrologic function.
- Decontaminate gear and recreational gear to prevent introduction of non-native species.
- Maintain genetic diversity of native populations.
- Maintain/improve aquatic connectivity for species viability.
