OSTI ID:250654
This synthesis presents a science overview of the major forest management issues involved in the recovery of anadromous salmonids affected by timber harvest in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. The issues involve the components of ecosystem-based watershed management and how best to implement them, including how to: (1) design buffer zones to protect fish habitat while enabling economic timber production; (2) implement effective Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent nonpoint-source pollution; (3) develop watershed-level procedures across property boundaries to prevent cumulative impacts; (4) develop restoration procedures to contribute to recovery of ecosystem processes; and (5) enlist support of private landowners in watershed planning, protection, and restoration. Buffer zones, BMPs, cumulative impact prevention, and restoration are essential elemets of what must be a comprehensive approach to habitat protection and restoration applied at the watershed level within a larger context of resource concerns in the river basin, species status under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and regional environmental and ecomonic issues.
