Russian River habitat focus areas projects are underway Habitat focus area

"Several projects that will address the critical needs of the people and fish in the Russian River watershed are now underway. Along with estuary management, monitoring, and habitat restoration, improved meteorological prediction and hydrologic modeling are among the aspects of these projects that seek to balance the needs of all water users. All projects will benefit listed species--particularly salmon and steelhead--but will also provide ecosystem services such as resilient coastal communities. For example, through climate modeling, we will provide tools to help resource managers and the public prepare for a changing climate and sea level rise"--Page [1]. 2014 CoRIS (Coral Reef Information System) Restoration Library Public Domain 1858
