Chinook salmon are populating farther up a Bay Area creek for the first time in decades
Chinook salmon are once again populating an upper part of the largest local tributary of the San Francisco Bay, thanks to the recent completion of a multiyear fish passage and restoration project. … The salmon’s passage up Alameda Creek, which carves through Niles Canyon and the Sunol Wilderness Regional Preserve to the Diablo Range, was made possible this year through the relocation of a PG&E-owned gas pipeline near the Interstate 680 overpass, CalTrout wrote. … This month, PG&E and CalTrout wrapped up efforts to relocate the pipeline and bury it under the riverbed, allowing salmon to migrate upstream once more.
