The Salmon Crossroads

Join fishery biologist Michael Reichmuth on this talk and walk discussing the coho salmon life cycle and, in particular, the changes salmon undergo during their freshwater to saltwater transition. The walk will include a visit to our downstream migrant trap where participants will view our current monitoring program at work. We will also discuss the salmon habitat in lower Redwood Creek and what changes the National Park Service has made in order to improve coho salmon habitat in this area.

The Golden Gate National Parks contains more endangered species than any other National Park in continental North America. This is certainly cause for celebration, but also for concern. Take part in the 2010 GGNP Endangered Species Big Year and get to know these species while helping them recover. It is free.
