Russell Marlow will be presenting the Malibu Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project, which centers on removing the defunct Rindge Dam and reconnecting nearly 18 miles of aquatic habitat in Santa Monica Mountains’ Malibu Creek watershed. Among the many benefits, this landscape‑scale ecosystem restoration will help return sand to Malibu’s coastline and southern California steelhead to our streams.
Russell Marlow is a Regional Manager for California Trout’s (CalTrout) South Coast Region, leading the Ventura office. Russell’s project focus in the Ventura Office is on reconnecting critical habitat for the endangered southern steelhead through passage barrier removal or remediation.
