Planning and Management Scenarios

The planning and management scenarios presented here demonstrate the integration of physical, environmental, and spatial data to support decision making by coastal managers, planners, and restoration professionals for salmonid recovery. They summarize the data needed, a process to analyze the data, and how results could be used to address realistic resource management issues that decision makers are faced with. They also discuss some of the limitations or caveats of doing such analyses. Although these scenarios refer to real data sets for specific geographic areas, they were not designed to produce results that promote specific management recommendations. Rather, they were developed to relay a process (one of many) that coastal managers can use when making decisions about coastal resources.

Scenario: Prioritizing alluvial reaches for riparian corridor expansion, protection, and restoration.

Scenario: Identifying sedimentation risks to in-stream habitat for potential reduction. (under development)
