Albion

Albion The Albion River empties into the Pacific Ocean in Mendocino County, about four hours north of San Francisco, and about one hour north of Gualala.

Alaska Water Exports has filed an application with the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for a permit to extract 6,200 acre-feet per year from the Albion River, for transport via tug & bag to San Diego. The local community is solidly opposed to this new threat to their river, and are determined to stop the waterbag scheme.
