Becky Flitcroft
Pacific Northwest Research Station
I am currently conducting research on Coho salmon populations throughout their life cycle I try to understand what fish need, from the perspective of the fish.
We often think about salmon habitats as a single spot in a river or watershed. I have discovered that salmon habitats are connected throughout an entire river, and salmon use them differently throughout their life cycle. The proximity of the habitats is as important if not more important than the condition of any single habitat with regard to the health of a salmon population.
As a child, I walked through streams and encountered the life within those stream. As I grew older, I continued to be curious about the fish that live in those stream and our relationship to those fish.
