Moody River

(Moody river, moody river)
Moody river more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river your muddy water took my baby's life

now I've watched over the years as non-profits attempted to "restore" Carpinteria creeks to a native state..none of the creeks really needed this but they got the money and restored the creeks anyway..then the Thomas Fire came along and burned down the watershed and after that the 200-year storm and 2 hr heavy rain event caused mudslides that wiped out the creeks

The Upper Carpinteria Creek fish passage restoration project along Carpinteria Creek, removed the last major barrier in the Carpinteria Creek Watershed. The project replaced an undersized bridge with a wider and taller bridge. It will also removed 100 feet of concreted stream channel and banks. The stream channel was regraded and the creek banks were restored with native riparian vegetation. Steelhead trout now have access to high quality upstream habitat.
The Community Environmental Council would undertake the work plan for each project in
cooperation with the landowner. CEC is a nonprofit organization established under section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and has operated successful environmental programs in
Santa Barbara County for more than 30 years. Its watershed restoration program manages a
number of stream restoration planning and implementation projects, including several funded by
Conservancy grants: the South Coast Urban Streams Program (00-078), the Mission
Creek/Museum Area Restoration Project (02-083), the Cate School Restoration Planning Project
(02-088), and the Gobernador Creek Fish Passage Design Project (04-078).
PROJECT FINANCING:
 Coastal Conservancy $510,000
 NRCS 250,000
Landowner contributions 120,000
In-lieu mitigation funds1 100,000
Total Project Cost $980,000 

Carp Creek scoured by storm

so all that native restoration was for naught....

as I told them many times, Nature decides what survives, not some sweaty-palmed little conservation biologists
