Fisheries technicians and tribal members, Josh Jimenez-McQuillen (right) and Aldaron McCovey (left), survey Blue Creek to count salmon, Klamath, California. Blue Creek is important to Chinook salmon because of its relatively cool water temperature in comparison to the Klamath River whose water is warmer and stresses the species. The Yurok Tribe has purchased the block of land around Blue Creek watershed with the profits generated from the sale of forest carbon offsets. © Kevin Arnold
