00:00Turning to wildlife news, protections for a favorite game fish in the Golden State just
00:07got a bit stronger.
00:08State officials have now listed the Southern California steelhead trout as endangered.
00:13The move comes after decades of man-made water projects depleted its population by disrupting
00:19their natural habitat and restricting their ability to reproduce.
00:23Steelhead trout migrate to the ocean and return to freshwater to spawn.
00:28To do so, the fish require unimpended waterways as they are vulnerable to many stressors
00:32and threats.
00:34The trout's new endangered status means the fish cannot be harmed, harassed, or killed
00:38during any changes or updates to aquatic infrastructure.
00:42The organization Caltrout estimates that only about 500 steelhead adults remain in a region
00:48that stretches about 280 miles of waterways in California to the Mexican border.
00:54But now that the fish is on the endangered list, conservationists are hopeful that new
00:57safeguards will help bring the species back from the verge of extinction.
