Part 4
IN THIS SECTION
What do the data say?
Using examples from riverscape restoration projects that are being extensively monitored, we will present their successes as measured by biological and physical scientists. Where it has been documented, riverscapes and their biology respond dramatically in the ways predicted by theory and sometimes, in a surprising, novel manner that highlights the inherent resilience of natural, functioning systems.
0:00 Part 4 Introduction, with Chris Jordan
2:26 Welcome message from Dr Sammy Matsaw, Fisheries Biologist, Fish & Wildlife Dept, Shoshone-Bannock Tribe
Can we be comfortable with the uncomfortable questions and conversations that riverscape restoration must raise? Learn from Sammy Matsaw as he reflects on the workshop's goals and messages from Day 1. How do we recover the land from an extractive mind set without first extracting the mind set from the land?
22:04 Case Study: South Fork McKenzie River valley reset
featuring Kate Meyer, Fisheries Biologist; and Becky Flitcroft, Research Fish Biologist; both with US Forest Service
Does scraping away the anthropogenic modifications of a riverscape really make it a home for fish? Travel to the McKenzie River in Oregon with Kate Meyer and Becky Flitcroft to hear what they have learned from following Stage-0 restoration projects.
42:05 Panel: The rapid biological fish response to PBRR
moderator: Ryan Bellmore, Stream Ecologist, Pacific Northwest Research Station - Juneau, US Forest Service
featuring:
George Pess, Fisheries Scientist and Watershed Program Manger, NOAA-NWFSC
Dan Bottom, retired Fish Biologist, NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center
Nick Bouwes, Ecologist, Anabranch Solutions and Utah State University
Carson Jeffres, Research Ecologist, University of California Davis
Was the SF McKenzie a one-off in terms of a dramatic response by salmonids to a process-restored riverscape? Listen to a diversity of case studies presented by Nick Bouwes, Carson Jeffres, Dan Bottom, and George Pess, moderated by Ryan Bellmore, that dive deeper into the biological recovery of riverscapes.
