OUR VISION

Sustainable Water Management that Benefits Fish and People

We are working toward a California where water use management harmonizes and meets the needs of people, needs of fish and ecosystems.

Communities Making Water Sustainability Possible

We want to see landowners participating in incentivized voluntary programs that improve their water supply reliability while benefiting instream flows for fish and wildlife.

APPROACH

A Successful Coalition with a
Powerful Mission

We are leveraging our combined strengths and expertise to advance the innovative science, on-the-ground projects, policy reforms and collaborative approaches needed to restore and protect wild salmon and steelhead and increase water security for people.
