My Stream

Many of us on the North Coast have watched the trout and salmon streams of our youth turn to dry washes or seen mighty rivers deteriorate into stagnant waterbodies unfit for human contact. Before we can solve the river flow crisis that faces our region, we must build a foundation on science and eye witness information that demonstrates impairment (and historic norms).

By sharing your information through this site, you can get the word out and help us reach critical mass for building a movement of allies for you and your imperiled stream. Let’s work together so we can get our rivers back!

The Eel River watershed is the third largest in California. Once the home to hundreds of thousands of salmon and steelhead, the Eel River is now going dry or becomes so stagnant that it is unsuitable for human contact in some of its reaches. More

The Gualala River, once famous for steelhead and coho salmon fishing is now choked with sediment from logging and depleted of flow by expanding wineries. More

The Napa River was famous for salmon and steelhead fishing, but the river has fallen into very poor health. Dams have cut off access to east side tributaries and have reduced summer base flows. More

The Navarro River and its major tributaries once ran cold and deep, providing ideal habitat for steelhead and coho salmon. Today the mainstem Navarro River runs dry or nearly so. The State Water Resources Control Board study found over 130 illegal impoundments in the Navarro River basin. More
