West Marin salmon habitat project hits milestone
A project to remove a major barrier to the recovery of endangered coho salmon was completed Friday in West Marin. The years-long effort led by the Olema-based Salmon Protection and Watershed Network, or SPAWN, removed artificial obstacles on a section of San Geronimo Creek for the first time in 120 years. They had stymied the migration and survival of coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout.
