Salmon are an anadromous, keystone species that have a massive impact on the regions they inhabit, from freshwater stream ecosystems to ocean habitats. These fish have unique lifecycle needs, including specific water quality factors and mobility access to their full habitat range. These factors are explored using spatial analysis and results show several ways salmon populations may be negatively impacted in the South Umpqua watershed.
