Steelhead trout, once thriving in Southern California, are declared endangered
Briefly

Historically, tens of thousands of these fish swam in Southern California rivers and streams... due to impacts from habitat loss, fragmentation and urbanization... the landmark decision provides critically important protections for this iconic species.
The distinct Southern California population is one of eight varieties of steelhead trout... spend much of their lives feeding in the ocean and return to their natal streams to spawn... typically grow to 2 or 3 feet and sometimes larger.
