Juvenile salmon response to landscape connectivity change within two Puget Sound river estuaries
400px|left The Skagit River System Cooperative and partners will monitor Salmon density in the Skagit Delta and Stillaguamish Delta to test how the configuration of distributary channels affects outmigration of juvenile salmonids. This effort observes change in response to restoration in the Stillaguamish and natural avulsion in the North Fork Skagit estuary. This supports River Delta Restoration planning by allowing prediction of relative value of restoration based on landscape position. It contributes to our understanding of River Delta Restoration and Salmon Populations. This effort is supported by the ESRP learning program.
