California built beaver-like dams in coho salmon creeks; at one site, mean juvenile survival rose from 8% before restoration to 60% after

Innovative restoration initiatives that emulate beaver dams have drastically enhanced coho salmon survival rates, boosting juvenile survival in a specific creek from eight percent to sixty percent. By generating cooler, slower water environments, these structures are essential for nurturing young salmon. Furthermore, these revitalized areas bolster resistance to drought conditions within the Scott River watershed,…
