Accomplishments of the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy  2005-2008 

The Board of Directors of the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy wishes to express our appreciation to those federal, state and local agencies, non-profits, and especially the individuals in these organizations who helped us to achieve our goals.

National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish & Game, California State Water Resources Control Board, (which provided the grant that funded our watershed assessment and action plan), Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, The Planning and Conservation League, The Big Sur Land Trust, and the Carmel River Steelhead Association. 

·        Produced the Carmel River Watershed Assessment and Action Plan and Supplemental Watershed Action Plan, providing a comprehensive guide for restoring key watershed resources, including the threatened steelhead population.

·        Completed a major assessment of the health of the Carmel River watershed resources including creeks, streams, and wildlife habitat.

·        Jointly sponsored the establishment of the Carmel River Technical Advisory Committee, a rare collaboration bringing resource agency managers and local restoration and conservation groups together to improve coordination of watershed resource management efforts.

·        Collaborated in the development of the Integrated Water Management Plan with water resource agencies for the Monterey Peninsula.

·        Conducted public meetings on emerging issues related to the Carmel River, Lagoon, and San Clemente Dam.

·         Played a leading role in advocating for state and federal funding of priority needs for the Carmel River Watershed.

·        Worked jointly with the Carmel River Steelhead Association and other volunteers to restore critical habitat for steelhead.

·         Actively contributed to the county-wide efforts of Water for Monterey County to develop a reliable, sustainable, and affordable water supply.
