Home MenuCreek and Watershed Management Program
The Creek and Watershed Management Program (CWMP) includes detailed information on the dozen creeks that run through our community, identifies impairments to these creeks, and outlines programs and specific future actions to address identified impairments. It also outlines best practices to provide habitat for fish and wildlife, accommodate wildlife movement corridors, convey stormwater runoff and floodwaters, and furnish open space and passive recreational areas for City residents.
The purpose of the CWMP is to fulfill General Plan Implementation Action CE-IA-3. CE-IA-3 requires a citywide Creek and Watershed Management Plan be prepared to provide detailed standards of acceptable practices for protecting the ecological function, water quality, and drainage and flood control function of Goleta's creeks and watersheds.
The City hosted a Lunch & Learn on September 27, 2024, for attendees to learn more about the City’s Creek and Watershed Program and the Southern California Steelhead Trout, an endangered species native to our creeks here in Goleta. Review the presentation here.
