Restoring Salmon Creek

Gabrielle Dorr , NOAA Restoration Center, Longbeach, CA
In the Mediterranean –like climate of Northern California water is plentiful in the winter but scarce in the summer when fish and people are competing for this precious resource. To protect water flows for endangered salmon, the entire community of Bodega Bay, California participates in collecting rainwater from the wet winter season that is stored and used during the summer dry season when fish need water the most.
