Estimated number of all races of adult Chinook
(b)(1) Objectives

• Improve habitat for all life stages of anadrom

provisions of flows of suitable quality, quantiand improved physical habitat.

• Improve survival rates by reducing or elimina

of juveniles at diversions.

• Improve the opportunity for adult fish to reac

habitats in a timely manner.

• Collect fish population, health, and habitat da

evaluation of restoration actions.

• Integrate habitat restoration efforts with harve

management.

• Involve partners in the implementation and ev

restoration actions.
