Final NOAA Fisheries Coastal Multispecies Recovery Plan Released
NOAA Fisheries released the Final Coastal Multispecies Recovery Plan to guide the recovery of three threatened species in California—California Coastal Chinook salmon, Northern California steelhead, and Central California Coast steelhead. The recovery plan is based on sound science and identifies the actions necessary to recover Chinook salmon and steelhead throughout their broad geographic range that extends from Redwood Creek in Humboldt County, south to Santa Cruz County, including the San Francisco Bay area.
The recovery plan and supporting materials are now posted.
