8 DFG Steelhead Management Goal and Strategy for Recovery Goal: Increase natural production so that steelhead populations are self sustaining (Salmon, Steelhead Trout And Anadromous Fisheries Program Act of 1988). Strategy: Protect spawning and rearing areas including estuaries, Restore degraded habitat, Restore access to historic habitat, Review angling regulations to prevent over-harvest, Facilitate research on steelhead biology, behavior, and habitat needs to address deficiencies in our knowledge of southern steelhead.
9 Limiting Factors to Steelhead Recovery Water quality, supply, and temperature Natural and manmade barriers Invasive plants and animals

16 NMFS Steelhead Recovery Plans: Take-home message Recovery Plans are not regulatory documents Recovery Plans are road-maps to recovery Recovery Plans must be adaptive to new information and circumstances Federal Agencies have an obligation to ensure actions are consistent with Recovery Plans
17 - Steelhead Habitat Needs - Primary Constituent Elements of Steelhead Critical Habitat
18 Freshwater Spawning Sites (Adults) Sufficient Water Quantity Sufficient Water Quality Proper Substrate
19 Freshwater Rearing Sites (juveniles) Sufficient Water Quantity Sufficient Water Quality Refuge and Cover Forage
20 Freshwater Migration Corridors Adequate Depth Free of Obstruction Resting Areas Adequate Water Quality
21 Estuaries Uncontaminated Water and Substrate Forage Refuge
22 Marine Areas Water Quality Forage Refugia

26 Our Mission: To conserve, protect, and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Concrete lined San Juan Creek below confluence with Trabuco Creek. Source: Trout Unlimited
27 Our Vision: By the next generation, Trout Unlimited will ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters.
