Record December rains draw spawning salmon to Marin County creeks
What a difference six months can make. In July, Marin County creeks were almost bone dry and now there’s so much water running through them that salmon are spawning like no one has seen for decades. It is a testament to the unpredictability of nature that, after the second driest summer in state history, the salmon should have such ideal conditions for spawning. … Todd Steiner, executive director of the Turtle Island Restoration Network, said so much water is flowing at exactly the right time that it is making for a perfect set of conditions for the fish to breed.
