Management implications
Specific measureable objectives
Testable hypothesis
Hypothesis a.2.3: riparian buffer zones do not increase prespawning or egg-to-smolt survival of salmon.
Underlying assumptions or critical constraints
Methods
Brief schedule of activities
Biological need
Significant areas of remaining salmon habitat are affected by land management activities such as logging, road building and mineral extraction. Need to establish effective buffer zones relative to environmental, hydrological and climatelogical conditions.
Critical uncertainties
Summary of expected outcome
Effective criteria for buffer strips for a wide variety of activities over a large number of land types.
Dependencies/opportunities for cooperation
Risks
Monitoring activity
Sediment, Temperature, riparian condition, instream complexity, fish use.
