Salmon spotted in Bay Area creek, marking return for 1st time in decades after restoration project

Removal of a PG&E pipeline reopened over 20 miles of spawning habitat on Alameda Creek, allowing Chinook salmon to migrate upstream and aiding recovery of native fish.

Salmon returning to Bay Area creek for first time in 70 years could be sign of environmental renewal to come

Since the beginning of November, volunteers from the nonprofit group Alameda Creek Alliance which has worked to remove dams and install fish ladders since 1997 have recorded nearly a dozen specimens of Chinook Salmon. These sightings come just weeks after PG&E and the nonprofit CalTrout finished a $15 million project to remove a gas pipeline that was the last barrier impeding fish migration upstream.
