Description    


The project developed restoration actions to be prioritized for the Arroyo Sequit, Malibu, and Topanga Creek Watersheds. 6 miles of stream were monitored for adult, smolt/fry, and their habitat conditions (spawning and rearing areas, and refugia pools) using both ground and snorkel surveys.

1 Report was prepared

Project Benefit    


Monitor southern steelhead distribution and abundance in Topanga Creek as a designated focal reference stream and compare to the more variable unstable abundance in Malibu Creek.
