Tag: Stotenburg Creek

This project removed all fish passage barriers along the downstream-most 0.6 miles of Stotenburg Creek, a small tributary of the Smith River on the coastal plain of Del Norte County, by upgrading or removing four stream crossings and adding habitat complexity features. The work benefited threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast coho salmon, Central Valley steelhead, coastal cutthroat trout, Chinook salmon, and Pacific lamprey by opening critical non-natal winter rearing habitat and reconnecting the creek to the mainstem Smith River.
