Stream restoration involves the application of specialized skills and techniques to improve the health and functionality of degraded or damaged streams. This may include activities such as stabilizing stream banks, restoring natural flow patterns, and reintroducing native vegetation and aquatic species. It requires expertise in hydrology, geomorphology, ecology, and engineering, as well as knowledge of local regulations and permitting requirements. Stream restoration is typically undertaken in partnership with stakeholders such as landowners, community groups, and government agencies.
