The drought has brought water levels to historic lows.
For another year, Chinook and steelhead numbers fell far below what they need for the fish populations to recover.
After collecting over $2 million in grants, the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy has $205,000 to go to protect the Gualala River Estuary, Mill Basin.
The Eel River Recovery Project reports the total chinook run was under 10,000 this past season.
The current recommended season dates for the Fort Bragg area are May 1 until November 8, 2020.
