| Notes | “This document provides watershed restoration actions proposed to enhance the coho salmon population within the Middle and Upper Fiver Rivers Sixth Field basins in Lincoln and Lane Counties, Oregon. . . The goal of the restoration effort has been to identify the dominant processes and habitat characteristics that limit the production of coho salmon smolts in the subbasins, and to develop a prioritized list of actions (“prescriptions”) for removing the limitations in ways that normalize landscape and stream channel function” (from the Introduction). Both summer and winter habitats needed improvement. The area had gone from an historic average of 71 beaver dams to only 3 in 2007, so re-introducing American beaver was recommended.
