Equipment troubleshooting! Hard at work doing a creek habitat surveys. Sometimes the stadia rod gets stuck and you have to work together to pull it apart... or just make time for some tug-of-war.

This Native American Heritage Month, we’re honoring our partnerships with tribes like the Association of Ramaytush and the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. Together, we’re working to steward the land–from reconnecting fish migration routes to restoring coastal prairie.

Throwback to 2008 when we dyed Pillar Point Harbor! The study helped us identify how pollution travels within and out of the harbor. The two dyes were released in select locations at varying depths. Don't worry, the dyes are safe and often used in this type of studies. #SanMateoRCD #CommunityScience
Talking conservation with our partners at State Parks and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Standing on restored landscapes, we shared the stories, strategies, and lessons that go us there.

Keeping fish safe while we restore the creek. 🐟💧 Our team carefully moves fish out of the work area so they don’t get harmed during restoration. Once the creek is clear, they’ll return to healthier waters. #WildlifeWednesday

We measure creek health from every angle.
This year’s angles are “full glare” and “mysterious shadow.”
