Abstract

This Chapter of Division 3 of the Fish and Game Code of California, known as the Keene-Nielsen Fisheries Restoration Act of 1985, creates the Fisheries Restoration Account in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund for improvement of stream habitat of anadromous fish species. Funds shall be directed at projects designed to restore and maintain fishery resources and their habitat that have been damaged by past water diversions and projects and other development activities. The Director of Fish and Game shall consult with the Resources Agency, the Department of Water Resources, the State Water Resources Control Board, the State Coastal Conservancy, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and the California Coastal Commission in determining projects proposed for funding. The California Water Commission, in any recommendation it may make to the Congress of the United States on funding for water projects, shall include recommendations for studies, programs, and facilities necessary to correct fish and wildlife problems caused, fully or partially, by federal water facilities and operation.
