The Finney Creek restoration project placed over 750 logs into more than 80 log jams in upper Finney Creek. the logs helped to trap gravel size sediments behind the jams and create a more narrow and deeper creek. This resulted in lowering water temperatures to provide more favorable spawning conditions. Finney Creek once provided habitat for all salmon species except sockeye. |

Scientists monitor the gravel composition and levels of dissolved oxygen in the creek. The process requires the insertion of plastic pipes into the streambed at a depth where fish eggs are found. The scientists use an oxygen probe to measure the levels of dissolved oxygen and measure the cleanliness of the gravel to determine suitability of the riverbed as spawning habitat. |
