We hope that you have already heard the good news that salmon are spawning throughout West Marin! Maybe you have even been out to see the salmon spawning in a nearby creek or taken a creek walk tour with our friends at SPAWN?

In the midst of our continuing drought, we are relieved that we got enough rain to allow our beloved and threatened salmon to migrate up our creeks this winter. In fact, they have been seen in new tributaries, with above-average redd (coho egg nest) counts, and with some larger fish than normal! Marin County has the largest population of Central Coast endangered coho salmon from Monterey Bay to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line. While the news is very encouraging, the numbers are still below the federal species recovery target.
