Abstract
By maintaining riparian plots and developing a new plant garden, I learned that native plants are crucial to the salmon passage that goes through Issaqauh creek. Native plants provide shade for salmon, protecting them from warmer temperatures. This is crucial because warming water temperatures make it less likely for salmon to survive, they’re journey, which one of the key reasons why the wild salmon population is in decline. Native plants also provide salmon with insects which are crucial for a salmon’s diet.
