Tour: Easkoot Creek Fish Passage Restoration Project 1998-1999 |
Click on image to enlarge (93K).Easkoot Creek, a tributary of Bolinas Lagoon, had fish passage problems related to this concrete apron below a small impoundment, which shows in the photo taken looking upstream. This site was later treated with rock weirs to form jump pools and allow adult steelhead passage. No coho salmon are known to use Easkoot Creek at present.
