Development of Guidelines for Salmonid Habitat Protection and Restoration

This paper was presented at the Society of Wetland Scientists, Pacific Northwest 2000 Chapter Meeting held in Bellingham, Washington May 10-12, 2000. The paper provides an overview of the Guidelines for Salmonid Habitat Protection and Restoration program as of Spring-Summer 2000. The project has changed substantially in the intervening time period, and is now recognized as the Aquatic Habitat Guidelines program. As a result, this document provides historical information pertaining to the original intent and structure of the program, and should only be considered a general, albeit outdated, reference.
