The fish habitat restoration procedures presented in this guide provide the technical basis for a suite of integrated restorative measures to accelerate natural recovery processes in forested watersheds impacted by past practices that would otherwise require decades to recover naturally. An introductory section contains chapters on planning fish habitat rehabilitation, watershed geomorphology and fish habitat, salmonid biostandards for estimating production benefits of rehabilitation techniques, and screening criteria for restoration projects. Sections on the application of rehabilitation techniques cover such topics as fish access and spawning sites, stream banks, off-channel habitat, using large woody debris, log-jam habitats, juvenile salmonid habitat, mainstem holding and rearing habitat, nutrient replacement, habitats in channelized or uniform streams, augmenting streamflows, and managing beaver habitat for salmonids. Includes glossary.

The purpose of this publication is to assist local groups in British Columbia to develop and implement integrated, effective, cost-efficient projects at the watershed scale to rehabilitate or restore fishery resources that have been adversely affected by past forestry practices. It provides a standard framework for identifying the needs and opportunities for fish habitat restoration through systematic resource assessments, and for prescribing and implementing effective activities to improve fishery and aquatic resources. It begins with background on forestry impacts on aquatic resources and on the fish habitat assessment procedure. The procedure is described at three levels: an overview assessment to provide a preliminary indication of factors that limit fish production in the watershed; a level 1 assessment to apply more precise diagnostics to identify habitat impairment, and to provide quantitative information needed initially to define and plan restoration projects; and a level 2 assessment to identify appropriate restoration options and priorities, and to provide detailed site information needed to prepare rehabilitation prescriptions.
