Mission Statement

The mission of the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project is to restore declining local anadramous fishery resources, i.e., the unique races of silver and steelhead trout native to the local Monterey Bay area and to enhance the Chinook salmon populations in Monterey Bay waters.

The Project's first priority is the propagation of native species of silver salmon and steelhead trout based on watershed by watershed management plans. Wild fish are collected by trapping in local small coastal streams and rivers and then operating egg hatching and juvenile fish rearing facilities. Genetically wild fish are reared and released in the same or similar local coastal streams. This helps restore balanced and self-sustaining population levels.

Program Description

The Salmon and Trout Education Program (STEP) has been developed to provide students with a chance to learn "hands on" about salmon and steelhead and the habitats in which they live. The K-12 program uses a thematic firsthand approach, offering teachers the tools and the ideas for integrating math, science, language, arts, etc.

Students learn about salmon and steelhead life cycles, their habitat requirements and the problems and solutions to preserving these "indicator" species and the watersheds in which they live.Teachers who wish to learn and participate in teaching STEP are offered a two-day workshop, which provides cooperative learning, utilizing actual lessons from the curriculum material. Teachers interact and learn
