This year, there was a significant return of salmon in Douglas Creek due to the extensive restoration. That does not mean there are no ongoing challenges to safeguarding the habitat. Despite the signage and fencing designating the creek as a federally designated fish-bearing stream, there have been disruptions from humans and dogs disturbing the spawning fish. It does seem to indicate that more ongoing community education and protection are needed to sustain the delicate salmon life cycle in the creek.
