Protecting and Restoring Anadromous Fish Habitat
The California Fish Passage Forum is a collaborative entity formed among federal and state agencies, and non-profits to explore, develop, and share effective methodology and resources to restore and recover anadromous fish populations by improving fish passage at man-made barriers. We are a nationally recognized fish habitat partnership under the National Fish Habitat Partnership.
Use this website as a resource to discover informational events, options for project funding, and resources to help advance the scope, scale, and pace of fish passage restoration in California.
