Holding Space—Restoring Habitat and Making Room for Innovation
March 26 - 29, 2024
Oops! I didn't mean to do that. Restoration Endeavors With Unintended Outcomes
29 March 2024
1:30pm - 5:00pm
Session Coordinator: Rachel Shea, PE, Michael Love & Associates
Presenters aired out their dirty laundry of unforeseen restoration outcomes so that their SRF friends won't repeat them. This session was intended to create an accepting space to discuss restoration actions that have been tried and may not have worked out as well as anticipated. It's better to share information on what hasn't worked whether it is in monitoring, design, or construction so that we can all move forward to improve our fisheries.
