Thursday, Dec. 4, at 7:00 p.m. Looking at the Past, Present, and Future of the Santa Ynez River Steelhead. Solvang Library, 1745 Mission Drive.

Will we ever witness the return of a steelhead fishery on the Santa Ynez River? Historian and biologist Mark H. Capelli will explore that question in this free illustrated program on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 7:00 p.m. at the Solvang Library, located at 1745 Mission Drive.

Capelli's talk will focus on the historic Santa Ynez River steelhead fishery and the role of our local river in the recovery of the southern California steelhead. A seagoing rainbow trout that has been protected by the Endangered Species Act since 1997, this fish previously spawned in watersheds ranging from the Santa Maria River to the Mexican border.

Mark Capelli has spent much of his professional career working on behalf of the survival of southern California steelhead, He is the Recovery Coordinator for this species as part of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service.
