Salmon populations have recently dropped significantly from historical levels, mostly as a result of habitat deterioration. Commercial forestry, intensive agriculture, the construction of flood control and transportation infrastructure, and other land uses all have an effect on the region's water quality. The removal of barriers to upstream migration, floodplain reconnection, the restoration of stream flow regimes, the expansion of cold-water refuges, the reduction of erosion and sediment delivery to the river, the restoration of riparian functions, and the expansion of riparian forest cover along the river and tributaries are a few strategies to help the declining salmon population. Finally, a question that I have is what would be the detriment to the surrounding population of animals that feed off of these fish if nothing is done to prevent the decline in population?]]> 2023-04-13 20:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1057463/eig9ixqj9303se5m/wish/2553688469
