| Notes | Winter habitat turns out to be an important, indeed, a limiting factor in coho salmon survival. Nicely complex habitat offers refuges that enable juvenile coho to survive winter freshets as well as providing “a large freshwater survival buffer that may help coho persist though extended periods of poor ocean survival” (p.2). It is troubling to note that agricultural land, private forest land and urban lands had the greatest lack of complexity, highlighting the need for more education and other efforts in these areas. |
