This document discusses habitat restoration projects planned for 2013 that aim to be climate-smart. It provides three examples of projects on the Maumee River, Black River, and again on the Black River that intend to reduce nutrient runoff, create more variable water levels, and use larger boulders to create fish habitat shelters that can withstand larger precipitation events brought by climate change.
