New salmon restoration project in Redding creates hope for the endangered fish
A new salmon habitat has been created on the Sacramento River in Redding thanks to an improvement act providing millions and partnerships between state, local, and tribal partners. The Kapusta Open Space Side Channel Project was built on the Sacramento River near the Kapusta Open Space to protect the endangered chinook salmon. Wednesday representatives from all over came to celebrate. The channel will provide a year-round spawning habitat for the fish where they are protected from prey. The channel is about a half-mile long and was excavated this winter and completed this spring. This is just the first of five projects Chico State Enterprise has received $27 million through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act to create.
