In this immersive course, you’ll dive deep into understanding fish habitat and its critical role across seasons and life stages, with a focus on stream-dwelling salmonids. This course will break down habitat units like pools, riffles, runs, and glides, and show you how these features support thriving fish populations. Explore the essential roles of riparian zones, woody debris, and in-stream cover, and learn how to recognize disturbances caused by forestry, agriculture, and human development.  This course spanning four hours is designed for biologists and technicians who are new to the field of stream habitat measurements and assessments.
