The Mattole River is the major inland collection point for 39 tributary streams, and drains 300 square miles of watershed. Its 100-acre estuary is important to migrating birds and shorebirds, providing the only protected wetland habitat along many miles of rugged coast. Wildlife of various kinds are attracted by the lush riverside vegetation, the beach, offshore rocks and the sea beyond. Photo by Justin Robbins, BLM.
