• RFHP And SARP Interface To Benefit Fish Habitat And Aquatics

  April 10th, 2010
  

  RFHP and SARP are collaborating to ensure that the goals of both organizations are met, to efficiently work with partners, and to explore joint funding opportunities. The landscape-approach to reservoir habitat restoration embraced by the RFHP makes partnering with SARP on projects a win-win for both Partnerships and an opportunity to achieve some common goals. A preliminary analysis of RFHP's impairment surveys indicates that sedimentation and pollution are two of the most common of six major reservoir impairment types. Watershed restoration projects will address these impairments and meet both SARP and RFHP objectives. The watershed restoration approach will maximize funding prospects and increase the number and scope of potential joint projects between the two partnerships. read more >
