	note = {The Northwest Forest Plan was adopted in 1994.  Part of the Plan involved developing an Aquatic Conservation Strategy {\textquotedblleft}to maintain and improve the ecological processes in aquatic ecosystems for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), other native fish, aquatic and riparian-dependent organisms, and water quality{\textquotedblright} (from the Executive Summary).The Plan met this goal by using riparian reserves, areas near streams in which logging was banned to the distance of two tree-heights (220 feet) on fish-bearing streams, and one tree-height on streams without fishes. The width of the reserves was considered to be an interim measure, but the issue has not been subsequently revisited.  This report is an attempt to re-assess the minimum widths of riparian reserves.  The authors offer an option that uses new techniques such as tree-tipping, which would enable forest managers to reduce the width of riparian boundaries and permit logging closer to streams without reducing water quality.},
