	San Lorenzo River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river originates in the Santa Cruz Mountains at an elevation of 2,500 feet and flows for approximately 30 miles before it empties into Monterey Bay.
		The San Lorenzo River was once one of the most popular steelhead and coho salmon rivers on the Central Coast of California.
		Another problem for the river and its habitat is the pollution from the city of Santa Cruz and the upstream communities of Felton, Ben Lomond, Brookdale, and Boulder Creek.

	Floods and Flood Control on the San Lorenzo River
		The San Lorenzo River drains a watershed of approximately 138 square miles, and drops from an elevation of 2900 ft. to sea level in its 22 mile length.
		Fishing in the San Lorenzo had been incredibly popular until the 1960's, and trout and salmon were routinely caught in the city and in the San Lorenzo Valley.
		In contrast, the river contained by the high levees was barren of most wildlife, the fish populations declined, and the levees separated the two sides of town visually as well.

	Were Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) South of San Francisco Ever Native, Indigenous? By V. W. Kaczynski, Ph.D., ...
		The absence of coho salmon bones in the middens south of San Francisco Bay plus the presence of coho salmon bones to the north (and steelhead bones both north and south) is good evidence that supports a scientific hypothesis that coho salmon did not occur in streams south of San Francisco Bay.
		Coho salmon populations were not found south of San Francisco prior to hatchery fry stockings beginning in 1906 when 50,000 silver (coho) salmon eggs were taken by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in Washington State and sent to the Brookdale Hatchery on the San Lorenzo River in 1906.
		The San Lorenzo River was stocked with 577,440 coho salmon from 1915-1941, and an unknown number from 1957 to 1993 (ibid).
