Description

This 2-day, 1-night journey begins and ends in Fresno and travels along more than 100 miles of the river from Friant Dam near Fresno to the confluence of the Merced River. As the tour weaves across an historic farming region, participants learn about the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, a long-term collaborative program to restore flows in the river resulting from one of the most contentious legal battles in California water history. Restoration specialists, water managers, environmentalists, farmers and fish biologists will provide a deeper understanding of the complexities associated with the program’s two primary goals of restoring a self-sustaining spring-run chinook salmon population and reducing or avoiding negative impacts on the water supply for all Friant Division long-term contractors.
