  "projectDescription": "The California State Coastal Conservancy will restore high-priority salmon habitat in northern Humboldt County by reconnecting floodplains, adding channel complexity, and restoring vegetation in Prairie Creek. The work will support recovery of key salmon species and will provide an opportunity for the Yurok Tribe to implement restoration efforts on their ancestral lands. It will also strengthen the climate resilience of both salmon and local communities by helping maintain cool stream temperatures and reducing flooding. In addition, there will be a planning element to this project to identify, assess, and prioritize specific sites in Prairie Creek, with a focus on identifying sites for future habitat restoration.",
