OpportunityTitle: BLM OR-WA: Salmon River Aquatic Habitat Restoration
Description: The Salmon River Aquatic Habitat Restoration project is an ongoing habitat restoration effort. Objectives of planned restoration actions are to increase side channel habitat, increase side channel/off channel habitat complexity and diversity, and increase mainstem habitat complexity and diversity. Connection of river flows to side channel and off-channel habitat will be enhanced by constructing a large wood habitat structure at a side channel inlet to maintain and improve side channel connection and recruit naturally occurring large wood. Large wood habitat structures will also be placed in this side channel, and where a second side channel returns to the main channel to restore habitat complexity and diversity by creating and enhancing scour pools, increasing hydraulic complexity and velocity refugia, promoting gravel deposition, and recruiting naturally occurring large wood.
