Document Description
On September 14, 2023, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) awarded a $4,659,898.00 grant with Drought Resilience – Protecting Salmon funding to the Marin Municipal Water District for the Project. The Project will restore and enhance habitat for Coho salmon, steelhead, and other native species. Due to the construction of Peters and Seeger Dams, Lagunitas Creek has a lack of large wood and suitable gravel. To address these limitations, the Project will construct 13 in-channel habitat restoration sites; these sites will include installation of riffle-pool-wood structures, gravel augmentation, and modification of a tributary confluence in Lagunitas Creek. The Project will result in better spawning and rearing habitat for salmonids by adding large wood habitat to the stream, and by scouring, sorting, and storing gravels.
