Type of Data | Water quality and habitat characteristics |
Originator | Bodega Marin Lab/University of California, Davis |
Description | Water quality parameters (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, hardness, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, and suspended solids) as well as habitat characteristics (stream bed composition, bank vegetation, and percent shading) were analyzed at seven sites in the Salmon Creek watershed and compared with values from the Lagunitas Creek watershed. |
Area | Salmon Creek and Lagunitas Creek watersheds |

Purpose | To determine if unsuitable water quality may be a factor in the loss of coho salmon in Salmon Creek and to examine the effects that livestock may have had in the stream system. |
Data Quality Information | Both nitrate and ammonia concentrations were too low to be accurately measured by the equipment, therefore those results are inconclusive. |
