Document Description
The project involves the modification of an existing rock waterfall into a barrier to upstream fish passage. This is part of on-going efforts to recover Little Kern golden trout, a federally-listed threatened species and state-listed special concern. Creation of the barrier will prevent upstream migration and eventual elimination of non-native trout from the tributary and restocking of pure Little Kern golden trout.
