Chico State Enterprises and the Sacramento River Forum are restoring habitat at Kapusta Island to support juvenile salmon. The project will create 2 acres of rearing habitat through the excavation of low and high flow side channels, while also enhancing 3 acres of spawning habitat. Monitoring and community engagement are key components of the project, which aims to aid salmon recovery in the Sacramento River.
