Strategy 1:  Explore ecologically acceptable options to stabilize stream flows (both peak and base flow).

Strategy 2: Reduce impacts of both existing and future watershed development.

Strategy 3:  Maintain and increase riparian public access for future recreational opportunities and stream protection/improvement (AMA’s, conservation easements, etc.).

Strategy 4:  Increase the amount of land protected within coldwater watersheds through easements or purchase.

Strategy 5:  Restore all fish passage to North Shore streams – both above and below natural geologic barriers.

Strategy 6:  Protect riparian areas that are currently intact and rehabilitate those that have been degraded.

Strategy 7: Remediate or reestablish wetlands along coldwater streams, especially in headwaters areas.

Strategy 8: Work to reduce temperature peaks in North Shore streams.

Strategy 9:  Improve in-stream fisheries habitat.

Strategy 10:  Promote forestry practices that minimize impacts of timber harvest on watersheds/streams (go beyond state forest guidelines – BMPs).

Strategy 11: Reduce sedimentation where human activities have caused problems.

Strategy 12:  Work with citizens and landowners to convey both good and bad land use practices in watersheds and the effects they have on streams.

Strategy 13: Work with land use officials to implement regulations and practices that protect watersheds from poor land management and enhance the health of streams.

Strategy 14: Collect and inventory data on coldwater streams that will direct productive habitat projects and identify areas to protect.
