The Pinkham fish passage restoration project along Carpinteria Creek, represents one of the last barriers in the Carpinteria Creek Watershed. The project will replace an undersized rail car bridge with a wider and taller bridge. It will also remove 90 feet of concreted stream channel and banks. The stream channel will be regraded and the creek banks will be restored with native riparian vegetation. When the project is complete steelhead trout will have access to upstream habitat.

Rain in Carpinteria!
We finally got some rain at the Pinkham project site. Over the last few days three separate pulses came through dropping roughly 3 inches of much needed rain. More may be on its way. Here are a few photos of flow running under the bridge and through the project site from this morning.
