HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES
Conserve and Restore Salmonid Habitats and Ecosystems
The Project will construct and enhance habitat features to offer drought and climate change refugia for aquatic species in the Scott Watershed and to create resilience and invigorate positive ecological responses towards the recovery of listed anadromous salmonid species. The Project will create 1 acre of complex, cold water refugia habitat for Coho Salmon with a science-based engineered design.
