[Stanford] Our study looks at where and why stream restoration happens on the California Central Coast.
And we found that restoration is clustered in areas that have a lot of ecological need—
These are areas with a lot of fish, with a lot of impaired habitats.
We also found that restoration is happening in places with certain types of human communities
that tend to be whiter, wealthy, and more educated.
Streams are really important ecosystems to manage well and restore because they impact
almost everything else. They are our water supply.
The way you manage streams can affect flooding.
When we first mapped where restoration is happening across the central coast, we were
struck by the fact that there are these really strong clusters that are receiving most of
the attention, that are in Santa Cruz County, around Morro Bay, and then southern Santa Barbara County.
We see similar disparities in access to clean air, to clean water, and in some ways this
result really supports those other findings.
These findings are particularly important because this is public spending we are talking about,
and all communities should be able to benefit equally from public investment.
