Highlights:

  • This project focuses on fish habitat restoration using a large-scale geomorphological approach.
  • Stream restoration often fails because habitat is often inadequate and there is a lack of collaboration between hydrogeomorphologists and biologists.
  • By creating a global database of stream salmonid abundance, this project aims to build models to predict salmonid abundance and determine what stream characteristics are important for salmonids.
  • This information can then be used to guide stream restoration efforts.
