- Document Description
- In order to comply with the requirement of the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Russian River Biological Opinion, the Water Agency will implement adaptive management of the Estuary with the dual objectives of enhancing rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids, particularly steelhead, and managing estuary water levels to minimize flood hazard. Rearing habitat may be enhanced by reducing tidal influence on the Russian River Estuary from May 15 to October 15 to increase freshwater habitat available for rearing salmon and steelhead.
