Water quality in Pacific Northwest urban and urbanizing aquatic ecosystems.
Toxic contaminants in the urban aquatic environment.
Wastewater treatment and the urban aquatic environment.
Aquatic biota in urban areas.
Wild salmonids in the urban environment: lethal and sublethal effects.
Rehabilitating aquatic ecosystems in developed areas.
Prioritizing, monitoring, assessing, and communicating rehabilitation efforts in urbanized watersheds.
Market-based strategies to offset new development impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
Watershed and landscape scale actions for mitigating impacts on urban salmonids.
Major research and monitoring needs for urban streams and watersheds.
Summary of salmonid rehabilitation lessons from the urbanizing Pacific Northwest.
Wild salmon, trout, char, grayling, and whitefish (collectively salmonids) have been a significant local food and cultural resource for Pacific Northwest peoples for millennia. The location, size, and distribution of urban areas along streams, rivers, estuaries, and coasts directly and indirectly alter and degrade wild salmonid populations and their habitats. Although urban and exurban areas typically cover a smaller fraction of the landscape than other land uses combined, they have profound consequences for local ecosystems, aquatic and terrestrial populations, and water quality and quantity.
