	Sustainable Conservation \| The Salinas River Permit Coordination Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Salinas River Partners in Restoration (PIR) permit coordination program is a model public-private effort that encourages and supports local farmers, ranchers, and landowners who are improving water quality and wildlife habitat on and near their lands.
		The core of the Salinas River PIR is the watershed-based agreements entered into by local, state, and federal regulatory agencies and the NRCS and the RCD of Monterey County.
		Under Salinas River PIR, a cooperator receiving technical and/or cost share assistance from the NRCS or the RCD of Monterey County is allowed to implement the associated conservation practices without seeking individual permits—provided they partner with the NRCS and RCD of Monterey County and carefully follow the terms of the program's agreements.

		The Arroyo Seco is one of the few tributaries of the Salinas River that sustains a small population of the threatened steelhead trout, a federally protected species that migrates all the way from the Pacific Ocean to spawn in the clean riffles and deep cold pools of the river.
		The river corridor also includes the narrow and rugged Arroyo Seco-Indians road, which was closed by landslides during the 1997 flood and has yet to be rebuilt.
		Unfortunately, this privately-owned section of the river is threatened by illegal and environmentally destructive gravel mining.

	Sediments Sink River's Flow into Sea: Science News Online, Nov. 17, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Normally, the river waters mix with the ocean to form a brackish blend, and any sediments carried by the flow settle out in shallow water to form the river's delta.
		However, scientists studying California's Monterey Bay have recorded five instances in the past dozen years when mud-choked swirls of unusually warm river water swept along the bottom of the bay at depths of nearly 1 kilometer.
		The river has a high sediment load, so if these currents weren't present, sediments from the Salinas River would settle on the continental shelf without creation or sustenance of the riverine bathometric feature that exists today.

	Identifying primary stressors impacting macroinvertebrates in the Salinas River (California, USA): Relative effects of ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Increased salinity in rivers and streams is a serious environmental concern, and in Australia there is growing information about the acute tolerances to salinity for freshwater macroinvertebrates, but much less information about chronic and sub-lethal tolerances.
		The primary goal of this study was to characterize physical habitat and benthic communities (macroinvertebrates) in the Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Merced Rivers in California's San Joaquin Valley in 2003.
		The presence of 117 taxa in the Stanislaus River, 114 taxa in the Tuolumne River and 96 taxa in the Merced River implies that the benthic communities in these streams are fairly diverse but without a clear definition of benthic community expectations it is unknown if these water bodies are actually impaired.

		The Salinas Valley Watershed and its Salinas River is facing a severe threat that Arundo donax, a non-native invasive plant species, will take over its riparian habitats and bringing along with it many associated environmental problems.
		In the Santa Ana River of Southern California, it is estimated that 68% of the riparian vegetation in comprised of A. donax (Dudley, 1993).
		With funded action and the decrease of Arundo in the Salinas River and its Watershed, comes the decrease of potential flooding, fires, and bank erosion, an increase of native vegetation and animals, and less river water usage by Arundo.
