Restoration actions directed at improving the quality and quantity of available spawning habitat are generally focused toward achieving one of the following objectives:
- Identifying spawning habitats that have been isolated or impaired via anthropogenic disturbance (e.g., road crossings) and restoring connectivity (both physical and biological) to these locations
- Identifying and addressing causal mechanisms for impairment to watershed processes (such as sediment transport or hydrology) that lead to degradation or loss of spawning habitats
