Excess sediment in rivers and streams harms salmon spawning habitat and water quality. With funding from Prop 50, the Estuary Partnership will reduce sediment in the Lagunitas Creek, Sonoma Creek, and San Francisquito Creek watersheds by rehabilitating and/or removing eroding surfaces on roads that are not maintained by the counties, and in regional open space areas and a state park; will stabilize creek banks in partnership with private homeowners; and upgrade eroding trails.

SPAWN has a "toolkit" of efforts that it uses to raise "coho consciousness."
