Abstract
Our goal in this project has been to develop a robust approach to urban stream rehabilitation,
using examples from the Puget Lowland region of western Washington, that blends knowledge
from the physical, biological, and social sciences by:
1) documenting the consequences of urban development on urban streams;
2) understanding the causes of the resulting ecological degradation; and
3) using that understanding to evaluate rehabilitation strategies and techniques.
