Gualala River Steelhead Studies

Due to a dearth of current information on the population status of steelhead in the Gualala River, a northern California coastal stream, in 2001 annual spawning surveys of steelhead (counts of adults and their redds) were initiated on the river. These surveys, now in the sixth of a planned 10-year study, focus on an 18.3-mile reach of the Wheatfield Fork selected as a population-indexing reach.

Women's International League for Peace and Freedom

WILPF's campaign Challenge Corporate Power, Assert the Peoples Rights Campaign has recently added Water to our working groups. WILPF looks at how corporations usurp people's sovereignty in the quest for power and profits. We see Water as a prime example of corporate privatization of what historically and rightfully should be in the commons and belonging to all.
