The Southern California steelhead trout was listed as endangered after decades of man-made water projects decimated its population.
The organization Cal-Trout estimates that only about 500 steelhead adults are remaining in a region that stretches from San Luis Obispo to the Mexican-American border.
Listing the species as endangered, gives the species added protections that can affect future water projects.The move will also mean that the fish cannot be harmed, harassed, or killed below any natural or man-made barrier.
