Promoting a collective stewardship that sustains the economic, environmental, and recreational benefits of a healthy San Joaquin River, including adequate flows, habitat, and native fisheries.

2010 has brought new hopes for a restored San Joaquin River, with interim restoration releases scheduled again for February 1st. The restoration program is underway, but as a non-profit partner dedicated to ensuring a successful restoration effort, Revive the San Joaquin has been fighting to ensure that the consequences of local, State, and federal actions do not impair our opportunities to restore the San Joaquin River. Local land-use and development, water quality impacts from municipal and industrial dischargers, and other local activties not under the jurisdiction of restoration agency staff have little consideration in the formal restoration program and responsibilities for protection typically fall upon the shoulders of local non-profits and NGO's like ours.
