Approach

Increase resilience to changes in temperature and hydroperiod by enhancing breeding sites

Tactics

  • Use vegetation to increase shading of wetlands and microhabitats
  • Retain water levels in wetlands when controlled by reservoir systems
  • Increase microhabitat structures (e.g.
  • woody debris) for microclimate refugia
  • nesting habitat
  • and egg deposition
