    \n
  1. Riparian buffer regulations:<\/b>strips protect fish and fish habitat and adaptive management experiments should be conducted to evaluate the buffer width and configuration issue.<\/li>\n
  2. Managing riparian areas:<\/b> Foresters\u00a0should play an active role to protect instream habitat and at the same time enhance fish production through careful riparian thinning or strategic planning.<\/li>\n
  3. Stream and watershed rehabilitation programs:<\/b>Programs should be initiated which will aim at creating \u00a0new off-channel spawning and rearing habitat, enhancing instream physical habitat, stabilizing stream banks, deactivating logging roads etc.<\/li>\n
  4. Managing road crossings:<\/b>crossings can be managed by installing more bottom-alternating baffles which provide lower water velocities and resting pools, which can help in fish passage.<\/li>\n
  5. Implementing new fisheries management policies:<\/b>should be more \u00a0policies addressing fisheries management concerns<\/li>\n
  6. Regulating harvesting practices:<\/strong>Regulatory bodies should stop commercial harvest in those populations considered threatened or at risk of extinction.<\/li>\n
  7. Monitoring salmon population:<\/strong>Monitoring programs should have a holistic approach, unbiased and include partnership and local interest groups<\/li>\n
  8. Proper maintenance protocol for decommissioned FSRs: E<\/strong>cosystem functions to decommissioned roadways\u2015introduce complexity, infiltration, etc.<\/li>\n
  9. Define specific assessment criteria and end goals:<\/strong>Allows for proper evaluation of project methodology and overall success. Facilitates decision-making throughout project implementation.<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0Monitoring of upstream reaches and spawning area:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. Fine particle sediment load and deposition<\/li>\n
    2. Salmon habitat stability and population<\/li>\n
    3. Structural components<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/li>\n

    4. Design forest roads sustainably:\u00a0<\/strong>Cooperation between different professional accreditations as means of minimizing the impact of FSR construction and use. This may include foresters, Agrologists, engineers, and biologists.<\/li>\n
    5. Alternative building materials: <\/strong>Instead\u00a0<\/strong>of applying traditional construction methods, engineers should consider integrating soil science principles (etc.) into infrastructure planning and construction based on frequency of use and expected lifespan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
