KEEP UP
On Tuesday a group of biologists searched through Alameda Creek in an attempt to find two Steelhead Trout that were spotted last week. After several hours of searching for the fish the hunt came up empty handed as they were unable to find the two fish. The group only ended up finding some carp and pike minnow. The reason for the urgent search of the Steelhead is because of their threatened endangerment under the Endangered Species Act. The search was done by blocking the escape routes under the weir and dragging the remaining pond with netting. The effort was helped along by the Alameda County Water District, which used an inflatable dam upstream to block the flow of the creek, which had been raging after a series of storms over the past week. The group is hoping to come back next week after the rest of the storms finish coming through to check again. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/In-an-East-Bay-creek-a-hopeful-hunt-for-a-6891957.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop
