The Wildlife Conservation Board protects, restores and enhances California’s spectacular natural resources for wildlife and for the public’s use and enjoyment in partnership with conservation groups, government agencies and the people of California.
The Stream Flow Enhancement Program (SFEP) orchestrates funding for projects aimed at enhancing the flow, timing, and quality of water in California's streams to benefit fish, wildlife, and their habitats. This initiative supports a broad array of project types including water transactions, conservation actions, habitat restoration, and scientific studies, all designed to improve conditions for anadromous fish and species at risk, while also bolstering the ecosystem's resilience to climate change. Guided by the California Water Action Plan objectives, the SFEP advocates for more reliable water supplies, the restoration of important species and habitats, and a sustainably managed water system through directed, competitive grant allocations.
