The Carpinteria Creek Watershed Coalition (CCWC) is a partnership between local landowners, community groups, resource agencies, and individuals working together to restore and protect the resources of Carpinteria Creek. Inspired by a shared sense of responsibility to our community, we are working together to provide conditions that will promote healthy steelhead populations in the watershed. Working at the watershed level means building partnerships and finding common ground among people of diverse interests and perspectives. The Coalition hopes to offer ideas and attract the technical and financial help that will encourage people along the creek to join in caring for the creek. It's entirely a voluntary, grassroots effort.

The people of Carpinteria Valley share a strong sense of environmental stewardship. We've proven our ability to make things happen by our efforts to restore Carpinteria Salt Marsh and to preserve Carpinteria Bluffs. By working together to achieve local solutions, we can also help bring back the steelhead to Carpinteria Creek. It takes an involved and aware community to create a healthy watershed--and Carpinteria Creek deserves the very best of us all. The Carpinteria Creek Watershed Coalition have restoration projects underway that will improve the overall quality of the watershed for native plants, local people and California's wildlife. We invite you to join us.

Creation of this website was funded in part by a grant from the County of Santa Barbara's Coastal Resource Enhancement Fund (CREF) program.  Continued maintenance of the website as well as support for the CCWC is funded through the Department of Fish and Game's, Fisheries Restoration Grant Program.
