Veterans are mentored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), the U.S. Many other Veterans Corps programs across the country focus primarily on forestry work and wilderness firefighting.ĭue to low funding and limited staff, NOAA Fisheries depends heavily on the CCC Veterans Corps to aid in salmon and steelhead recovery. The Corps participants conduct research and monitor the species in their natural habitats. The Veterans Corps fisheries program is unique from other Veterans Corps in that it provides post-9/11 veterans opportunities to build their skills and gain work experience by restoring habitat for endangered salmon and steelhead. The goal of the program is to address two national priorities: 1) support and promote job opportunities for veterans and 2) protect and restore endangered species. The program started in Northern California with hopes to expand to Southern California by 2014. In partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, California Conservation Corps (CCC) Veterans Corps began their fisheries program in 2012. We’re recognizing California Conservation Corps‘ and NOAA for their Veterans Fishery Program. Learn about how this partnership expands opportunities for Veterans and helps improve aquatic habitats.
In 2016 alone, Corps restored 2,551 miles of waterway. Corps play an essential role in helping preserve our waterways.
