California workers are optimistic that a stream-bed restoration project can be completed in time to aid the return of fall-run chinook salmon on California's Sacramento River system.
The downtown waterway of Secret Ravine Creek in Roseville, Calif. has seen negative impacts from nearby urban development, but it's getting some help.
A group called the Dry Creek Conservancy is removing physical barriers in an attempt to give the fall-run fish a clear path to their spawning grounds. They got some help in the form of a $150,000 grant from the California Department of Water Resources, according to UPI.com. They're hurrying, because the fall fish should arrive any day now. Said the Conservancy's director Greg Bates: "I don't think there has been a project like this in the Sacramento metro area. It's pretty exciting." – Rick Bach
