•S 2432 IS

1 (1) once magnificent salmon and steelhead runs 

2 throughout the State of California have generally ex3 perienced severe declines resulting in the listing of 

4 those salmon and steelhead as threatened and en5 dangered species under both Federal and State law; 

6 (2) economically important commercial, rec7 reational, and tribal salmon and steelhead fisheries 

8 have collapsed in many parts of the State leading to 

9 economic crises for many fishing-dependent commu10 nities; 

11 (3) salmon and steelhead are essential to the 

12 spiritual and cultural practices of many Indian 

13 tribes in California and those Indian tribes have suf14 fered as a result of the decline in salmon and 

15 steelhead runs throughout the State; 

16 (4) habitat protection is an essential component 

17 in the recovery of endangered salmon and steelhead 

18 to sustainable, harvestable levels; and 

19 (5) certain pristine areas in the State warrant 

20 special protection because the areas offer vital, irre21 placeable habitat for salmon and steelhead.
