  1. #WashingtonState - Largest #restoration project on #StillaguamishRiver completed to help endangered #salmon

    "The #StillaguamishTribe completed its largest restoration project on the Stillaguamish River on Friday, when water from the North Fork rushed into a side channel for the first time in more than 150 years.

    "The project is the latest installment in a large-scale effort by the Tribe to restore the river to how it flowed before the area was colonized in the 1800s.

    "The two-mile stretch of river, 230 acres of surrounding land, and the projects to come will be vital to restoring #salmon #habitat, reducing #wildfire risk, and protecting homes from flood damage, according to Jason Griffith and Kadi Bizyayeva with the tribe.

    " 'You can see this project is that large, and that's the scale of habitat that's been lost.' Griffith said, 'We've lost thousands of acres of fish and wildlife habitat, and we're working piece by piece to put thousands of acres of fish and wildlife habitat back on the landscape.'

    "Griffith, the environmental program manager, has helped the Tribe buy the land that was a former #GolfCourse, #CattleRanch, and tree farm.

    "Construction and acquisition combined cost close to $15 million.

    "The #EndangeredSpecies List has #CohoSalmon as endangered of extinction and #ChumSalmon as threatened with extinction. This project primarily intends to help protect these types of fish."

  6. Conserving Just 35% Of The Nation's Waterways Could Sustain Freshwater Biodiversity | A Freshwater Resilient And Connected Network To Sustain Biodiversity Under A Changing Climate

    “By evaluating the health of waterways across the U.S., researchers have identified a network encompassing about one-third of rivers and streams that, if conserved and restored, could sustain the nation's freshwater biodiversity in the face of habitat degradation and climate change [1st link above.]…
    During the past century, streams and lakes in the U.S. have deteriorated as more than 150,000 dams have fragmented river networks, and changes to the landscape and groundwater use have altered how and where the water flows. Many freshwater species are now in rapid decline, exacerbated by the impacts of climate change.
    To address this crisis, [the researchers] worked with 66 freshwater conservationists to map freshwater networks in the contiguous U.S. and evaluate their resilience to degradation. Each watershed was scored based on its connectivity, condition, water availability and naturalness of flow, and checked against local surveys of freshwater biodiversity…”
