Description
Scope/Content: Abstract: This report provides information about the location of migration barriers and their impacts on steelhead and rainbow trout movement in the watershed. Upstream natural limits are identified or estimated on study streams to identify historic steelhead distribution. Individual barrier assessments within this report provide barrier locations, photographs, descriptions, fish passage diagnosis, and site-specific recommended actions. Large dams, road crossings, grade control structures, flood control channels, and water releases from dams are identified as the main migration barriers limiting steelhead within the watershed. Improving steelhead migration to available habitat and providing additional access upstream to former spawning and rearing habitat is essential to restoring a wild, self-sustainable steelhead population to the watershed. The successful restoration of wild steelhead to the Santa Ynez River could play a crucial role in delisting the southern steelhead and ensuring it's survival in the future.
