Workshop Overview


There is increasing recognition that aquatic habitats are created and maintained by dynamic interactions among environmental, hydrological, geological, and biological processes. Strategies for long-term habitat protection and restoration depend on understanding these dynamic processes and the environmental factors that control them. This workshop brought together physical scientists (geologists, hydrologists, engineers), fishery biologists, aquatic ecologists, and resource managers to learn about and explore the potential of using existing physical and biological models to better understand the dynamic linkages between the processes that create, maintain, and regulate habitat structure within the Huron-Erie Corridor (HEC) system. This is the second of three workshops focused on the HEC system.
