Anthropogenic land uses generally diminish biological integrity and interconnectivity of rivers, lakes, perennial and intermittent streams, and wetlands. Areas offering distinctly different physical and biological conditions become isolated, preventing many species from successfully utilizing remnant, high-quality, life-cycle-requisite habitat. This project identifes and restores full life-cycle access to naturally occurring refuge, spawning, and feeding habitat. Native potadramous fish species were the measure of habitat desirability and accessibility. Habitat ingress and egress were equally considered. Remedial work was supported by the NOAA, funded through the ARRA, and was carried out by a unique alliance of government agencies, [...]
