 wild coho salmon left in California, a species on the brink of extinction.. 
  Every winter, two-foot salmon leave the ocean and migrate up Lagunitas 
 Creek to spawn and complete their life cycle that has continued for 
 millions of years.  To accomplish this, these the fish must jump 
 waterfalls, maneuver past otters and herons and dig nests in gravel beds to 
 deposit their eggs.  Along the way the male fish turn bright red, grow 
 massive hooked jaws and compete to fertilize the eggs deposited by the 
 females.  For more information,visit www.SpawnUSA.org\n\nThe public is 
 invited to come along and witness these magnificent events and learn all 
 about the species and the threats they face.  The walks are easy strolls 
 along relatively flat trails.\n\nTours go rain or shine.  Dress warmly, 
 bring raingear, cameras and binoculars.\n\nMEDIA:  PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE FOR
