The project, which aims to help the local endangered steelhead trout population, is part of a larger $62.2 million initiative to improve stormwater drainage infrastructure, while reconstructing 13 culverts in order to restore passageways for the fish, on PCH from Pacific Palisades to Ventura County.Malibu: Construction is underway to replace this concrete culvert at Pacific Coast Hwy & Corral Canyon Road with a bridge, allowing Steelhead trout to migrate from the ocean upstream.
The organization Cal-Trout estimates that only about 500 steelhead adults are remaining in a region that stretches from San Luis Obispo to the border. Gordon Tokumatsu reports for the NBC4 News on April 22, 2024. Steelhead trout are born in freshwater ecosystems and can spend their entire lives in freshwater. However, some choose to migrate downstream to the ocean — and are then often unable to make the necessary journey back to freshwater in order to reproduce due to manmade barriers like culverts.
The Corral Canyon project is particularly concerned with restoring the fish’s access to upstream habitat in Solstice Creek, a freshwater ecosystem where the trout can reproduce.
