Coho salmon in Marin County’s Redwood Creek are at critically low numbers, and are at risk of local extinction. To prevent permanent loss of the fish, a team of scientists and land managers are removing juvenile coho from Redwood Creek and rearing them to maturity. Mature coho salmon will be released back to the creek to choose mates and spawn in their natural environment. The first collection of juvenile fish occurred in August, 2014.
