ocean.

Hudson River tributaries. Anadromous fish spawn in freshwater and live in salt water,
migrating between the two. (Modified with permission from Limburg 1990)

Summary: urban streams tend
to have…• Elevated nutrients & contaminants
• Increased hydrologic flashiness
• Altered biotic assemblages
Who cares?
• 70% of human population will live in urban areas
by 2050
• Most urban growth will occur in less developed
countries
• Can we improve development strategies?
