Fallen leaves do more than just make creeks look like Autumn 🍂

As they break down, leaves add nutrients and organic matter to the water, helping support insects and other tiny organisms that become food for fish, including salmon.

A little bit of leaves are part of a healthy creek ecosystem. 🌿🐟

🧂❄️ Water Quality Wednesday! 💧🐟

Road salt helps keep us safe during icy weather, but too much can cause problems for our local waterways!

When snow and ice melt, excess salt washes into nearby creeks and rivers, impacting water quality and harming aquatic life. 🌊

This winter, remember: A little salt goes a long way! Let’s keep our roads safe and our streams healthy! 💚

Some familiar faces have returned to the creek… 👻🌊

For this spooky edition of Water Quality Wednesday, a few former SHaRP crew members are back from the past to talk about something even scarier: water pollution. 🎃💧

From litter and chemicals to everyday pollutants that wash into storm drains, what enters our waterways can have a major impact on fish and aquatic habitat.

This Halloween, remember: the scariest thing in the creek shouldn’t be pollution. 👀🐟

Fall is here, and the creeks are loving it 🍂🐟

As leaves drop into streams, they help add nutrients, support aquatic insects, and contribute to the healthy creek ecosystems salmon rely on.

Turns out fall is pretty great for salmon. 🍁

An amazing start to the fall season! 🍂🐟 Here’s a little look into the fall term with the SHaRP team so far.

From spawning surveys and community events to brushing along streamside areas, we stayed busy all month long, with plenty of fun along the way.

After years in the ocean, salmon return to the streams where their journey began, guided in part by the unique scent of their home waters that they memorized as juveniles. 🐟🌊

Their return is a powerful reminder of why protecting healthy creeks and salmon habitat matters.

💧🐟 Water Quality Wednesday!

Did you know that everyday pollutants like oil, chemicals, and litter can end up in our local creeks? 🌊

These pollutants can harm aquatic life, reduce water quality, and damage ecosystems. Small actions, like properly disposing of waste and keeping storm drains clear of pollutants, can make a big difference! 🌱

Let’s work together to keep our waterways clean and healthy! 💙
