A climate emergency is upon us. Salmon and their watersheds face extremes in flow and water temperature due to more frequent drought, extreme heat, flooding, wildfire, and reduced snowpack. Novel, science-based strategies are needed to maintain a place for cold water fish in our landscapes. This session is an opportunity to disseminate basic and applied scientific  knowledge that will help to advance management practices for the betterment of salmon-supporting watersheds.  This is a venue for practitioners from a variety of roles to report on their efforts.  Approaches to enhance instream flow, improve water quality, and augment beneficial environmental conditions are encouraged to participate.
