Projects
"Enhancement" is a general term
used to denote projects that support and/or increase fish populations and
their habitat. Enhancement projects are as individual and unique as the
surrounding terrain. These types of projects can be as simple as
constructing egg boxes or as complex as total streambed restorations. Within
the Chehalis Basin there are a vast array of completed and ongoing
enhancement projects including; stream bed clearing, stream bank
restoration, road and trail abandonment, erosion control, culvert
replacements, spawning channel restoration, rearing ponds, hatcheries,
broodstocking, and educational outreach programs.
Habitat Restoration Projects
"Restoration" is defined as an
activity that results in improving habitat, including both physical and
functional restoration, with a goal towards a self-sustaining, ecologically
based system that is integrated with its surrounding landscape.
Habitat restoration projects are driven by the goal to return an ecosystem
to a close approximation of its condition prior to disturbance.
CBFTF Eduction & outreach projects strive
to create an aware and educated Chehalis Basin community which
displays personal concern and ownership for the river and its
fisheries resources. The prime goal for these efforts is to
develop an understanding of fisheries issues through education,
communication and marketing by targeting user groups, members,
federal, state and local government agencies, community members,
businesses, Tribes and schools.
