All day field tours of the lower San Lorenzo River will address the following topics: Balancing Habitat, Flood Control, and Public Use; Carmel River Restoration Projects; Southern Coho Streams and the NOAA lab and Broodstock Program; Coastal and Santa Clara Valley Salmonid creeks; and Coho Salmon and Steelhead Enhancement projects.

Concurrent sessions will include the following topics: Water Diversions & Water Wars in California; FERC Relicensing Restoration Opportunities; Central Coast Coho Salmon & Steelhead Conservation; Fire Ecology, Forests, and Fisheries; Dam Removal and Modifications for Salmonid Recovery; Restoration at the Crossroads, Central and Southcoast Steelhead; Hydrologic and Geomorphic Legacy Issues: Solutions for the Past and the Future; and Coho Salmon Recovery and Restoration: Putting Theory into Practice.

This is the premiere habitat restoration conference in the Pacific Northwest. Hosting the conference in Santa Cruz affords us wonderful opportunities to view projects on the Central Coast and highlight issues that pertain to coastal watershed and coho salmon recovery. The Plenary session will focus on the state of commercial fisheries in California and elements of watershed restoration.
