The Measure
Public agencies fund and implement projects that improve aquatic habitat conditions and reduce predation risk for juvenile salmon.
Measure Details
Juvenile salmon use the Delta for rearing and outmigration. State and federal agencies conduct studies and implement projects that improve habitat conditions and reduce predation risk for juvenile salmonids migrating through the Delta.
Delta Plan Strategy
Prevent Introduction of and Manage Nonnative Species Impacts
Delta Plan Recommendation
ER R “I.” Fund Projects to Improve Survival of Juvenile Salmon
Public agencies should fund and implement projects that improve aquatic habitat conditions and reduce predation risk for juvenile salmon along the priority migration corridors identified in Chapter 4, Figure 4-8. Projects that could improve survival of juvenile salmon include levee setbacks and waterside habitat improvements, placement of fish guidance structures, and nonnative aquatic weed management.
