The symposium goals are to provide a forum to share information on restoration and research projects related to Mat-Su watersheds and salmon habitat conservation and to promote an exchange of ideas about salmon science and conservation in the Mat-Su Basin. Presentations span a wide range of topics -- fish passage restoration projects on Mat-Su streams and assessment of their benefits to salmon; studies about geology, erosion, and salmon distribution on the Matanuska River; wetlands mapping and management; Green Infrastructure planning; salmon distribution throughout the Mat-Su Basin; conservation of public lands; and more.
