"Guardian of the Creek," popularly known simply as "The Fish," is an 18-foot mosaic-tiled rainbow trout sculpture at the entrance to the Prince Memorial Greenway on Santa Rosa Avenue in downtown Santa Rosa. Created by sculptor Daniel Oberti with artist Mario Uribe and ArtStart student apprentices, it was installed in 2008 and sits within a 30-foot-diameter mosaic map of the Santa Rosa Creek watershed, serving as a civic symbol of the city's creek-restoration efforts.
