Web Site.
What's New?
The CRRF has some exciting new programs that are currently
being implemented in the San Joaquin and Sacramento River systems
for 2004. We are beginning a restoration project to create over
20 new spawning and juvenile rearing sites for steelhead and Chinook
salmon in a dredged channel about seven miles downstream from
Goodwin Dam on the Lower Stanisluas River. The CRRF is also working
with the resource agencies on the Lower Tuolumne, Merced, and
Yuba rivers to achieve flows and restoration that protect and
enhance habitats for steelhead as well as spring-run and fall-run
Chinook salmon. In addition, we are developing a restoration plan
for the Lower Stanislaus River and assisting with another plan
for the lower Tuolumne River on behalf of the resource agencies,
irrigation districts, and local citizenry. The CRRF biologists
have also been working very closely with stakeholders, to enhance
the current record of information for our native salmon and steelhead
fisheries. In this effort, The CRRF has taken the initiative to
create and perform the following studies.

and is maintained and monitored by our organization.)
1.We have created an O. Mykiss habitat map for the
Lower Tuolumne River, which highlights areas of crucial steelhead
and rainbow trout habitat, so that projects created to enhance
Chinook spawning, do not negatively affect our precious steelhead
fishery.
2. Have worked closely with resource agencies and other non-profit
groups, to gather the crucial science we need to protect our native
steelhead in the San Joaquin basin.
3 . Have conducted hook and line surveys to gather tissue samples
from steelhead in the San Joaquin basin to help determine the
anadromus origin of these fish so that we can better protect them.
4. Began a mark re-capture program to create a population estimate
for our steelhead fisheries in the San Joaquin basin.
"5. Have heavily contributed to a restoration plan for the
Lower Tuolumne river and given the only steelhead based information
to that plan, so future projects create habitat for all anadromus
fish in the river.
6. We have continued to sit in technical forums, consulting with
these groups and lending our knowledge and expertise to help to
guide future projects during the conception and planning phases
of the work.
These are just a few examples of the meaningful programs
we are currently working on. Please also take a look at our list
of accomplishments to see the effort CRRF has made to protect
our rivers.

hope you enjoy your tour of our site!
