Endangered Fish

Steelhead trout are found in most California rivers. Since the 1950s the Steelhead Trout population has declined about 90 percent. 23 Steelhead runs have been completely wiped out because of logging or road construction. This destroys there homes and there breeding streams. The Steelhead's habitat is continually being destroyed by humans. We have to to start changing our ways if we want too continue to see these fish. This is messed up that we are destroying these endangered species homes along with many others such as the whale shark, and the Chinook salmon.

The whale shark is the biggest shark/fish in the ocean today. It can be up to 40 feet or more in length and they are endangered because of over fishing. We need to relax with the fishing and think about these beautiful creatures being extinct. They are the biggest recorded fish in the world today and we aren't doing anything to help preserve them. The Chinook salmon are dealing with the same problem as the steelhead trout. There homes being destroyed and soon one day when there spawning season is up, there will be nothing there. unless we drastically change our views about our aquatic counterparts, many species will soon be extinct click here
