	Welcome to the Mattole Restoration Council
		The Mattole River originates in northern Mendocino County, and flows in a northwesterly direction until it nears the town of Petrolia, where it takes a notable turn and meanders through a broad east-west trending valley.
		The main stem of the Mattole is approximately 65 miles (100 km) long, and drains a watershed area of approximately 304 square miles, fed by over 74 tributary streams.
		River systems are dynamic - they are the link between erosion of upslope lands, the creation of alluvial floodplains, transport of eroded materials to the ocean, and habitats for aquatic organisms.

		The main type of house for the Mattole, as well as the Sinkyone, Wailaki, Nongatl and Bear River was round, with a hip roof and a single ridge-pole.
		The Mattole also built a lean-to of redwood or fir slabs or bark.
		Baskets of the area were twined, and the Mattole had a cylindrical fish creel which resembled a quail trap used by the Wailaki.

	06/18/01 -- A different breed of protester; Opposition to clear-cutting of timber grows among Humboldt County residents
		Mattole Valley, Humboldt County -- Rancher Michael Evenson loves the Mattole River; he just wishes it wouldn't have swallowed several acres of his pasture during the flood of 1997, transforming a lush grassland into a cobbled barrens.
		The slides have cloaked the river's lower stretches in a thick layer of muck and rock, Evenson said, encouraging bankside erosion during winter floods.
		Coho and chinook salmon and steelhead trout inhabit the Mattole.

		The Mattole River, a remote salmon spawning stream in a coastal valley ringed by lush forests with abundant redwoods, is the object of a citizen-inspired effort to help nature overcome years of damage that has imperiled the fish.
		In the Mattole valley, fog drifts ashore in the evening and burns away in midday sun, deer are plentiful, and humans are sparse.
		In the fall of 1993, Mattole Restoration Council coordinator Randall Stemler led a project to excavate the creek and deepen its channel, reconfigure its natural bends, and install tree trunks and willow trees along the banks to stabilize the soil and encourage vegetation growth and formation of shaded pools.

	Mattole Salmon Group
		The effects of over-harvesting at sea, as well as legal and illegal in-river fishing, were magnified by an inherently unstable landscape, resulting in a developing decrease of salmonid populations to less than 10% of historic levels.
		The mattole salmon group continues to promote and operate a broad-based program aimed at restoring the remnant runs of native chinook and coho salmon in the Mattole River.
		Now in it's 23rd year, the Mattole Salmon Group is as comitted as ever to the restoration of the Mattole River Watershed and it's native Salmon population.

	Mattole River, Shelter Cove Rd. to Ettersburg, III (IV), 10 miles
		On the Gold Country Paddler's President's Day Weekend Eel River Extravaganza (put together by Elaine Baden), between runs of the Outlet Ck./Dos Rios and Pillsbury sections of the Eel, Gunnar Krueger, Jenny Riley, and I ran the stretch of the Mattole River from the Shelter Cove Road crossing to Ettersburg.
		This is an unusual river in that it lies very near the ocean, paralleling it past the "Lost Coast" of California; the put-in is only about 5 miles as the crow flies from the Pacific.
		The trees were tall and sheltered the river, so all the rocks were coated in moss and ferns covered any ground available.

		Mattole Road starts out as a narrow path heading up to the crest of Bear River Ridge climbing some 2000 feet in a mere 4 miles to introduce the ride.
		The paving on Mattole Road is pretty lousy and there were several sections that were gravel.
		Mattole Road from Garberville to Honeydew was beyond a challenge and the last 100 feet of wooden bridge was almost too much.

	A Watershed Runs Through You by Freeman House: Mattole Salmon Group, Mattole River salmon
		If you are hip-deep in a cold, rising river on a winter night, attempting to net a 30-pound chinook salmon, and your goal is to bring the fish and its burden of eggs out of the water alive, your concentration becomes marvelously focused.
		When my wife and I became propertied people near northern California’s Mattole River a quarter century ago, some large part of my motivation for moving was to join my neighbors in an effort to sustain and preserve one of the last half-dozen genetically native chinook salmon runs in northern California.
		The degraded river system was going to take generations to repair itself and that would happen only if the land management practices that had caused the damage were transformed into methods more benign.

		The estuary and the Mattole River outlet to the Pacific Ocean are visible in this panorama, which opens up toward the north.
		Cover and shade in the estuary had decreased, so had overall depth; the result was a wide, exposed, and shallow lagoon where water temperatures quickly escalated during summer months.
		The task of the Mattole Restoration Council and their partners was to understand how changes in health of the entire watershed affected water temperature and therefore, salmon survival in the estuary.

		Fishing is what it used to be about, but now a once chilly river is warm enough for an enjoyable afternoon swim.
		The Mattole River is listed for its temperature and sediment impairment, and the TMDL report is scheduled to be completed in 2002.
		In the Garcia River watershed, the first river to receive a TMDL implementation plan, sediment reduction will rely upon “voluntary compliance,” which means that landowners will be expected to voluntarily reduce the amount of management—related sediment produced on their lands.

	Mattole River and Range Partnership: Watershed Plan to Create 30-Year Vision for the Mattole
		The watershed planning and habitat-improvement efforts are being coordinated by the Mattole Restoration Council (MRC), and funded by contracts from the California State Coastal Conservancy (CSCC) and the California State Water Quality Control Board.
		During the next three months, MRC staff will survey creeks throughout the Mattole to assess their needs for conifer replanting, with the goal of re-establishing the historic abundance of conifers in the riparian zones, eliminating invasive exotic species, and developing site-specific projects to enhance creekside habitats in the Mattole.
		If you are a Mattole resident and would like to contribute to the Watershed Plan, you may submit a Watershed Plan questionnaire (visit http://www.mattole.org/program_services/watershed-plan.htm).

		Not a member of the elite "Six Rivers" only because it doesn't flow through a national forest, the Mattole River is nevertheless a river of note in Humboldt County.
		It has become even more noteworthy since the development of the Mattole Watershed Alliance, a group of 200 individuals who live in the area, own property in the watershed and want to work together to repair the damaged ecosystem.
		In the meantime, sediment continues to clog the Mattole spawning beds, the deep cool pools that the salmon like to spend their summers in are getting shallower and fish numbers are still declining.

	Maxxam/Pacific Lumber Blockaded From Liquidating Mattole : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Early this morning, activists blockaded a road entering the old-growth ecosystem that is the headwaters of the Mattole River in an attempt to halt logging of Timber Harvest Plan(THP) 1-01-413, a THP that includes fifty acres of old growth slated to be clear cut.
		Recent clearcut logging of this area has already caused landslides, sediment degeneration and degradation of salmonid habitat, and impacted human residents and the Mattole River downstream to the ocean.
		Mattole resident, Jane Lapiner, stated, "A culture concerned with its own survival would find ways to protect this island of remaining old growth instead of caring more for short-term economic gains."

		The Mattole River (Figure A.8) rises south of the town of Whitehorn in Northern California's Humboldt County and flows 62 miles northwest to the Pacific Ocean, which it meets 8 miles south of Cape Mendocino (Mattole Restoration Council [MRC], 1989).
		The Middle Mattole is less steep, but the river and streams cut through highly erodible fractured sandstones and decomposing shales and clay (MRC, 1989).
		The Lower Mattole has a gentle gradient (less than 11 ft per mile) and meanders through a broad alluvial valley to end in a short estuary that becomes a lagoon when reduced summer river flows allow the river mouth to become plugged with sand (MRC, 1989).

		Mattole River Watershed, Humboldt County - We as friends and residents of the Mattole River Watershed, calling ourselves the Mattole Forest Defenders, set out today to try to non-violently stop the logging of the controversial Timber Harvest Plan 99-475 (THP 475).
		We believe that the approval of Maxxam/Pacific Lumber's THP 475 is not only illegal but a continuation of a highly destructive practice for the environment, community and economy.

	Use of Bioengineering to Recover Floodplain Vegetation on an Estuary Floodplain, Mattole River, Petrolia, California
		The Mattole Restoration Council identified the northern edge of a cobble midchannel bar on the Mattole Estuary as potentially valuable fish habitat.
		The ability of a system to absorb rainfall impacts and deliver moisture to the channel slowly over time is absent in clearcut watersheds such as the Mattole.
		The cumulative effects of these processes are propagated in the downstream direction, rendering the lower mainstem areas vulnerable to large scale channel and floodplain changes during relatively small storm events.
