Upper Gobernador Canyon Barrier Removal project was completed in 2011. The fish passage restoration project along Gobernador Creek, removed the last major barrier to fish migration between the headwaters of Gobernador Creek and the Pacific Ocean. The barrier which was removed was a low flow crossing across the creek that created a significant jump height greater than 10 feet that was considered completely impassable to steelhead trout. This project was made possible with funding from NOAA Fisheries, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the California Coastal Conservancy.
