It is in the Kings River basin, which includes parts of the valley and the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The largest city near the study area is Fresno, located to the west. The purpose of this study is to formulate measures and alternative plans to restore and protect the ecosystem at Pine Flat Lake and along the lower Kings River (downstream of Pine Flat Dam to State Highway 180). Ecosystem restoration includes improving fishery habitat, increasing fishery survival, increasing riparian, shaded riverine aquatic (SRA) habitat, oak-woodland habitat, and reestablishing native historic plant and wildlife communities. 收起
