Abstract

California Department of Fish and Game and the US Forest Service has been implementing the California Golden Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita, Conservation Strategy since 2004. Here I present some of the results from management of their habitat including vegetation monitoring, geomorphological monitoring and photo points to display dome of the dramatic vegetation responses within their habitat. Included will be a discussion on Climate Change related to the current occupied habitat of O. mykiss aquabonita and challanges to implementing the strategy to secure habitat with current and further predicted drying of their habitat.
