Steelhead & Salmon

The Challenge

From the Smith River, through the central coast, to southern California, our native steelhead and salmon are part of a magnificent natural heritage. Sadly, of the state’s 22 anadromous fish species, 13 (or 59%) are in danger of extinction this century. This collapse of our fisheries speaks to the declining health of California’s overall natural environment.

Our Goal

To restore healthy, self-sustaining populations of California’s native steelhead and salmon across their historic range.
