<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dams disrupt the natural movement of water, rocks, and wood downstream resulting in a lack of loose, well-sorted sediment and the structural
complexity that salmon and steelhead need to successfully spawn, protect their eggs, and rear once hatched. To make up for the loss of these materials below Lewiston dam the Program augments sediment and wood in areas identified as depleted.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Wood and sediments can interact with the river across three scales; first by encouraging geomorphic change that scour pools and sort sediments,
second, to provide habitat, and third to create hydraulic forcing at elevated flows. To accomplish these goals, the TRRP and it's partners placed sediment and wood at the BLM River Access on Steel Bridge Road this spring.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Spring Quarter meeting of the Trinity Management Council brought together agency and tribal leaders to review advancements in restoration,
science, operations, and community engagement shaping the Trinity River Restoration Program. From updates on staffing, financial systems, and rehabilitation projects to emerging science initiatives, hatchery modernization, watershed restoration, and key decisions
on flows, research, and fish‑passage infrastructure, the session highlighted both the progress achieved and the important work ahead.

— a migratory bird whose excellent predation skills and extended presence might reveal secrets about how flow management influences the delicate balance between predator and prey. These winter and spring visitors thrive in areas shaped by previous slow-water
winter management, and their appetite for salmon fry has sparked new research into how river conditions affect this dynamic.
