Lower Russian River Watershed Coho Habitat Restoration Project

Planning/Design
The Lower Russian River Watershed Coho Habitat Restoration Project includes a suite of habitat restoration sites and approaches to increase floodplain connectivity and wetland complexity and function, as well as address migration barriers, for salmonid utilization and survival in two priority tributaries to the lower Russian River in Sonoma County, California. The Russian River watershed is a coastal shoreline watershed that has been designated by NOAA as a Habitat Focus Area under the Habitat Blueprint program.
