What is Localizing California Waters:
In 2019 we hosted the Central Coast community with high quality speakers, case studies and workshops. This year, we're focusing on activating the Ventura River Instream Flow Toolkit Catalog for a closer look at how we move forward on tools that can help us accelerate response to drought, fire, extreme heat, habitat loss, flooding impacts and community health.
