This symposium will include workshop presentations on fish passage design
and engineering, tidal estuarine restoration, creation of off-channel
habitat for salmonids, and experimental wood-loading       designs.
Participants will tour of some of the completed project sites in the
Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge, including specially designed tide gates that
mute the peak tides to avoid flooding adjacent infrastructure. The second
day of the symposium will include a tour of Humboldt Bay tributaries and
estuaries including Jacoby Creek and McDaniel Slough to view projects that
are part of the Arcata Baylands Project that strives to restore historical
connectivity of bay-side, seasonal freshwater wetlands and to increase the
amount of rearing habitat for pre-emigrant salmonids. There will be a
concurrent tour of process-based restoration near the Klamath River estuary,
which are designed to mimic natural processes to restore ecological
function. Please see the SRF website at www.calsalmon.org
