Salmon habitat restoration
Salmon habitat restoration involves repairing and improving natural environments where salmon live, breed, and grow. This includes actions like restoring stream flows, removing obstacles such as dams or culverts that block migration, planting native vegetation to shade streams and provide cover, and reducing pollution to ensure clean water. These efforts help create healthier ecosystems, giving salmon better chances to spawn, develop, and return to their natal rivers, which supports their populations and the broader health of aquatic and terrestrial environments.
