Approach

Increase resilience to changes in temperature and hydroperiod by enhancing breeding sites.

Tactics

  • Use vegetation to increase shading of wetlands and microhabitats.
  • Retain water levels in wetlands when controlled by reservoir systems.
  • Increase microhabitat structures (e.g., woody debris) for microclimate refugia, nesting habitat, and egg deposition.
