            Restoration of Aquatic Native Fish Habitat
         
      The MFJDR IMW Final Summary Report demonstrated that high water temperatures are the most important habitat limiting factor in ESA listed Mid-C summer steelhead and spring Chinook salmon productivity in the MFJDR, perennial tributaries are the primary contributors for cool water. Camp Creek provides important rearing habitat for juvenile steelhead and Chinook salmon as well as spawning habitat for steelhead. This planting and fencing project on Camp Creek will bolster the cold water refugia potential of Camp Creek by increasing streambank shading and plant density in thermally sensitive areas.
