The Mattole Technical Advisory Committee was convened to provide scientific oversight and input to guide Mattole restoration and conservation programs. The MTAC, which meets twice a year, has a membership of over twenty-five agency scientists and engineers, academic researchers, Mattole-based restoration practitioners, funding agency representatives and land conservation experts.

Below are links to recent MTAC meeting minutes and PowerPoint presentations, as well as a number of technical/scientific documents about the watershed.
