Approach

Increase spawning habitat resilience by restoring stream and floodplain structure and processes.

Tactics

  • Restore stream and floodplain complexity.
  • Increase protection of alternate spawning habitat.
  • Consider removing natural barriers to increase spawning habitat.
  • Protect habitat by increased use of engineered log jams where feasible.
  • Increase bank and channel stability.
