Stream Restoration
Research focuses on strategies and tools that effectively address the causes of stream degradation, including species loss, replacement, and decline, as well as physical and chemical stream modifications. Restoration strategies focus limited resources on reconnecting stream network components and recreating stream processes essential to maintaining native biota.
