Following the 2004 decision to increase flows on the Trinity River, the number of returning steelhead has improved significantly. Today, we are one of a number of organizations involved in a large-scale restoration project aimed at increasing the naturally produced steelhead populations to 10,000 returning fish annually. To do so, the following must be done:
- Modify flow regime to increase the total in-stream water volume
- Restore and increase the amount of viable upstream spawning and rearing habitat
- Alter hatchery production goals to benefit wild steelhead and coho salmon
