Fish Habitat. There are various wetlands and streams and a few small lakes throughout the Community Forest area that are tributary to the Fort Xxxxxx River. These areas provide important habitat for various resident trout and other fish populations and are a valuable component of the Fort Xxxxxx River system, which is home to a number of important fish species such as xxxxxxxx xxxxx, white fish, pike and pickerel. Care will be taken to manage all riparian areas in a manner that protects fish habitat and fish populations.
Fish Habitat. Continually improve effectiveness of fish habitat conservation and restoration efforts by identifying and characterizing critical spawning, nursery and forage areas within the Bay and tributaries for important fish and shellfish, and use existing and new tools to integrate information and conduct assessments to inform restoration and conservation efforts. Progress: A formal indicator of progress for fish habitat is under development. Implementing these conservation practices: • Agricultural forest buffer. • Streamside forest buffer. • Urban stream restoration. Will also benefit these outcomes! • Protected lands. • Habitat biodiversity. • Xxxxx xxxxx. • Blue crab. • Recreation. • Forage fish. • Wetlands. What do I need to know about fish habitat? • Fish are important to ecosystem function and provide economic and social benefits. • Local land use decisions impact the production and sustainability of fish resources. • If designed effectively, infrastructure projects and conservation practices can improve fish habitat, create resiliency to projected climate change impacts and decrease erosion. Outcome: Continually increase the capacity of forest buffers to provide water quality and habitat benefits throughout the watershed. Restore 900 miles per year of riparian forest buffer and conserve existing buffers until at least 70 percent of riparian areas throughout the watershed are forested.
