This session will explore the current direction of approaches for understanding salmonid habitat in lagoons. There have been a lot of novel approaches developed recently to understand how water quality conditions, beach conditions, and flow conditions are changing in these systems between years, and gradually over time. Especially over the last decade, we've transitioned more and more toward a position of data wealth, and have a new problem of understanding how best to interpret growing sets of data in lagoons/estuaries (and how to continue evolving our approaches as technology changes).
