Southern California Coast Steelhead Recovery Planning Area: Conservation Action Planning (CAP) Workbooks Threats Assessment.

摘要

The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) contracted with Hunt & Associates Biological Consulting Services to provide technical support in developing Recovery Plans for steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations in the Southern California Coast Steelhead Recovery Planning Area and the South-Central California Coast Steelhead Recovery Planning Area. Specifically, Hunt & Associates was tasked with reviewing existing information on steelhead habitat conditions, assessing the magnitude and extent of threats to steelhead and their habitats, and developing recovery actions across these two Steelhead Recover Planning Areas. This document summarizes the results of an assessment of threats and sources of threats to steelhead in the Southern California Coast Steelhead Recovery Planning Area, which includes coastal steelhead populations from the Santa Maria watershed of Santa Barbara County southward to the Tijuana River watershed in San Diego County, California. Recovery action matrices for each watershed in both Steelhead Recovery Planning Areas are provided in separate documents.
