Salmonid Series: Pacific Salmonid Spawning Habitat Restoration:Course 2 of 3 in a series BIO-304
This course provides general training in the design, implementation and monitoring of in-stream habitat improvement projects in regulated streams and rivers, particularly those with Pacific salmonid spawning populations. It is designed for practitioners and agency personnel involved with field data collection, detailed design and/or review of river restoration projects. Participants will acquire techniques for collecting and analyzing field data; integrating physical, biological and aesthetic objectives into habitat improvement design; characterizing and estimating sediment transport and budgets for enhancement sites; and designing effective monitoring programs. In addition, students will visit an ongoing enhancement project where these techniques are practiced. Material selection, contracting procedures, and data and project presentation will also be covered. All students will receive a comprehensive habitat restoration manual. This course is preceded by: "The Ecology of Pacific Salmonids" November 1-2, 2010 and followed by "Introduction to Fish Passage" on November 5, 2010. A discount applies when registering for all three courses.
