A year after the completion of a controversial restoration project that divided Los Angeles environmentalists, California State Parks says a species missing for decades has been spotted in the Malibu Lagoon.

On May 15, fish monitors assessing the effects of the restoration project saw a 20-inch adult steelhead swimming in the lagoon, according to State Parks. Though the ocean-going trout species does visit Malibu Creek, it hasn't been seen in the lagoon itself for many years.
