Session Coordinator: Eli Asarian, Riverbend Sciences

This session will explore science across a range of topics relevant to river restoration and conservation, including: sampling design, genetics, water management, hydrologic effects of habitat restoration, and climate change effects on salmonids and food webs. Habitats discussed will span from mountain meadows to coastal streams and regulated mainstem rivers, and from the Pacific Northwest to California's North Coast and Sierra Nevada.
