Description    


The South Coast Regions Southern California Steelhead Restoration and Recovery (SCSRR) project will monitor southern steelhead abundance, productivity, distribution, and diversity within the Monte Arido Highlands Biogeographic Population Group (MAH BBG) and the Conception Coast Biogeographic Population Group (CC BPG). This project is a continuation of a long-term Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) program along the Ventura River, started in 2012, with an expansion into the remaining Monte Arido Highland and the Conception Coast watersheds to provide population level abundance data.

Project Benefit    


The objective of this project is to address the Department?s Steelhead Restoration and Management Plan for California?s task SC-09-400-02: Design and/or implement monitoring projects consistent with Fish Bulletin 180, the CMP for focal watersheds (DFG 1996). This will be accomplished by continuing monitoring efforts needed to satisfy data requirements for monitoring goals outlined by Fish Bulletin 180 and 182, specifically with regards to the Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) parameters including adult abundance, productivity, spatial distribution, and diversity using methods consistent with those described by the CMP.
