Loss of historic stream complexity, including connected floodplain and tidal wetland habitat, combined with other land use and climate factors and historic over-fishing has led to a long and steady decline in the Oregon Coast coho salmon population in the Siuslaw River and coastal lakes basins in western Lane and Douglas counties. This Conservation Implementation Strategy (CIS) will build off more than two decades of watershed restoration collaboration among partners in the Siuslaw Coho Partnership to improve aquatic habitat for fish through reconnection of floodplains and tidal wetlands and restoration of riparian buffers on private and tribal lands within high priority sub-basins in the Siuslaw River and coastal lakes watersheds.
