The Southern Steelhead Coalition aims to enhance watershed restoration projects for resilient Southern steelhead populations. Key initiatives include:
- Redwood Creek Estuary Restoration: Focuses on restoring ecological functions and recovering threatened salmonids.
- East Fork Scott River Restoration: Reconnects floodplains and improves habitats for fish passage.
- Alameda Creek Fisheries Monitoring: Aims to fill data gaps to aid steelhead and Chinook recovery.
- Pescadero and Butano Creek Tracking: Research on spawning runs of steelhead and coho salmon.
- I-5 Trabuco Creek Fish Passage Project: Enables steelhead access to upstream habitats.
- San Mateo Creek Non-Native Removal: Targets removal of detrimental non-native species.
- Klamath Dams Removal: Opens up spawning habitats by removing four dams on the Klamath River.
- Scott Bar Fish Passage: Restores access to critical habitat for aquatic species.
Various projects focus on ecological health, water resource management, and community involvement, all aimed at recovering salmonid populations across multiple watersheds.
