Session Coordinators: Kam Bezdek and Analise Rivero, California Trout

 

This session will explore the intersection between restoration, science and policy. The focus will be on how restoration science and project implementation needs to inform regulation and funding mechanisms with examples of how these factors have influenced policy change at the state and federal level. Presentations in this session will focus on specific examples of where policy, science, and projects have converged to achieve conservation outcomes and advance strategies for the large-scale restoration of California’s native salmonid species.
