Abstract

This Chapter of Division 6 of the Fish and Game Code of California declares the State's policy in respect to protection and repopulation of salmon and steelhead trout and provides measures in this respect. The Department of Fish and Game shall, with the advice of the Advisory Committee on Salmon and Steelhead Trout and the Commercial Salmon Trollers Advisory Committee, prepare and maintain a detailed and comprehensive program for the protection and increase of salmon, steelhead trout, and anadromous fisheries and shall plan for the increase of natural production of salmon and steelhead trout resources. The Department shall also contract with the University of California to conduct a study of the effects that reduced waterflows at the mouths and upstream estuaries of selected rivers would have on existing salmon and steelhead populations and on existing or prospective salmon and steelhead population restoration or reintroduction programs.
