Rivers of a Lost Coast

On this past Tuesday, 02/09/2010 Peter Moyle at the Assembly oversight sub-committee hearing on the California Department of Fish and Game made a strong case for the lack of resources and attention given to the state’s anadromous fisheries that has led to the current salmon and steelhead crisis. During his strong presentation, professor Moyle pointed to the film Rivers of a Lost Coast to help provide a historical context to the once incredible Eel River salmon and steelhead runs.

The hearing lasted over 3 hours and covered a variety of important issues. Professor Moyle begins speaking around 2 hours and 15 minutes and can be scanned directly to on the following link: Assembly oversight hearing.
