	title = {Evaluating "Nuisance" Beaver Relocation as a Tool to Increase Coho Salmon Habitat in the Alsea Basin of the Central Oregon Coast Range},
	year = {2013},
	note = {One suggestion for improving coho salmon habitat is to release beaver into the area and hope they build dams.  The author of this study trapped 38 beavers and released them in areas where beaver dams would help coho productivity.  The beavers, however, had their own ideas about where to build, and went where they wanted to go. {\textquotedblleft}I conclude beaver relocation as a tool for stream restoration in the Alsea Basin may not offer an effective solution to lethal control measures and coho habitat enhancement due to low survival rates, unwanted movement and establishment outside of suitable release sites, and lack of dam construction.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  Co-major professors were Jimmy D. Taylor and Dana M. Sanchez.},
