Stream and Riparian Restoration Network

The National Stream and Aquatic Ecology Center (NSAEC), a unit of the Washington Office Field Services and Innovation Center, hosts a community of practice to connect field practitioners with each other, regional and national specialists, and researchers.

Subject areas targeted for discussion through this network include: stream channel and riparian enhancement and reconstruction, aquatic habitat enhancement, aquatic organism passage, riparian management, floodplain connectivity, environmental flows, streambank stabilization techniques, and more. Assessment, planning, design, permitting, implementation, and monitoring are all suitable subjects for discussion. Practitioners encouraged to participate in this network include hydrologists, fish and aquatic biologists, riparian ecologists, geomorphologists, engineers, range ecologists, and other relevant specialists.
