The location, size, and distribution of urban areas along streams, rivers, estuaries, and coasts directly and indirectly alter and degrade wild salmonid populations and their habitats. Although urban and exurban areas typically cover a smaller fraction of the landscape than other land uses combined, they have profound consequences for local ecosystems, aquatic and terrestrial populations, and water quality and quantity Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Title from Web page (viewed on December 11, 2013) English In Springer eBooks Subject Salmonidae -- Effect of human beings on -- Northwest, Pacific Salmonidae -- Habitat -- Conservation -- Northwest, Pacific Salmonidae -- Effect of water pollution on -- Northwest, Pacific Urbanization -- Environmental aspects -- Northwest, Pacific Water quality management -- Northwest, Pacific Urban watersheds -- Northwest, Pacific NATURE -- Animals -- Fish.
