Salmonid Restoration Federation

SALMONID RESTORATION FEDERATION
Website: www.calsalmon.org/

SRF is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of California's salmon, steelhead, and trout populations and their habitat. SRF educates individuals, organizations, and agencies about innovative techniques for salmonid restoration by sponsoring an annual conference in California and operating technical field schools. SRF is devoted to educating the community on the ecology and economy of restoring natural resources for future generations of fish and people. We are interested in building a sustainable economy in rural areas so people in the restoration field can make a living wage while restoring the natural environment.

THE SALMONID RESTORATION FEDERATION...

...was founded in 1987 by members of several local restoration groups who wanted to create an information clearinghouse for groups like theirs, and to organize an annual conference. The Federation is a nonprofit organization funded by membership dues, donations, workshop and conference fees.

Our two main objectives are:

  • to improve the effectiveness of California's salmonid restoration efforts
  • and to develop the public and political support that is essential for maintaining and expanding restoration program efforts.
Salmon, steelhead, and trout restoration projects fall into three general categories: Habitat restoration and enhancement, fish population enhancement (pond rearing operations), and community outreach and public education programs. These projects are undertaken primarily by private contractors (mainly nonprofits, American Indian tribes, and local governments) and most are state grant funded.
