BACKGROUND
Coho salmon, a threatened species, are the most abundant salmon species spawning in the Lagunitas watershed. Yet populations are down 90% from historic numbers. The two to three foot fish leave the ocean and travel miles up local streams to lay their eggs. The Lagunitas Watershed, located in West Marin County is reported to have one of the largest populations of wild coho left in California. A number of sites in the watershed will be visited.
