Chetco River Restoration Project

The Chetco River Restoration Project aims to improve fish habitat, especially for salmon and steelhead, by restoring natural river functions. It involves removing human-made barriers, enhancing stream flows, and restoring riparian vegetation to promote healthier ecosystems. These efforts help increase fish populations, reduce erosion, and improve water quality. The project balances ecological health with community needs, ensuring sustainable river use for future generations. Through collaboration among agencies, stakeholders, and scientists, the project promotes a resilient, natural Chetco River system.
