Description:Fish face many anthropogenic stressors. Authorities in marine, estuarine, and freshwater realms often share interdependent fisheries management goals, but address singular stressors independently. Here, we present a case study suggesting that coordinating stressor relief across management realms may synergize conservation efforts, especially to actualize restoration benefits. Major efforts are underway to restore juvenile salmon habitat across California’s Central Valley landscape, but it is unclear how fisheries and flow management will influence juvenile salmon occupancy of restored sites. Leveraging monitoring data, we find that for juvenile salmon (<55 mm) to actualize benefits of restored habitats will likely require maintaining spawner abundances and flows at or above intermediate values, especially in less-connected portions of the landscape. Furthermore, restoration efforts may prioritize more connected regions to promote use of restored areas, considering that less connected areas are often uninhabited when water and spawners are scarcer. This ecosystem-based framework that evaluates interdependencies of management decisions may be applied to realize natural productivity and enhance conservation in many systems.
