Evaluate the degree to which management actions, such as riparian restoration, could make the difference between bull trout persistence and...

Facilitate movement of trout populations to locations with suitable stream temperatures.

Increase the patch size of suitable habitat to enhance viable populations and allow migratory life histories.

Maintain woody material or other habitat elements in the stream to create deeper pools.

Identify and map where groundwater inputs provide cold water.

Mitigate barriers to movement (e.g., dams, culverts) between currently occupied streams and those expected to remain suitable for bull trout.

Work with partner agencies to pulse flows from regulated streams when temperature is high in order to prevent the water...

Increase cold-water habitat by restoring the functionality of channels and floodplains to retain cool water and riparian vegetation.

Secure water rights for instream flows to maintain more control of overall water supply.
