Another “must” for a healthy habitat

Discuss the different habitats on each slide Discuss the different habitats on each slide. Include quotes or paraphrases from external sources when appropriate to support what you have to say, like this: A USDA research study “observed positive correlations between juvenile coho salmon density and habitat features such as large wood and pools” (Bryant et al. 3) (Notice the in-text citation and how it correlates directly with the cited source in the Works Cited)

Works Cited Bryant, Trent McDonald, et al. “A Protocol Using Coho Salmon to Monitor Tongass National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan Standards and Guidelines for Fish Habitat.” Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, 2008.
