Abstract:
watershed, USDA, erosion, sedimentation
The Six Rivers National Forest is in the early stages of developing a project to restore aquatic habitats in selected stream reaches across the forest. The overall purpose of the restoration project is to improve riparian and instream conditions for anadromous fisheries including listed threatened and sensitive fisheries and their critical habitats. The forest is considering a suite of potential restoration actions including adding large woody debris to provide cover for juvenile coho salmon, and developing side-channel areas for winter rearing and riparian treatments to encourage species diversity.
