Southern Range: Salmon in the Santa Cruz Mountains

At the southern edge of their range, salmon on the central coast of California feel the effects of climate change more drastically than their northern relatives. After the devastating wildfires of 2020, environmental stewards, scientists, and fish enthusiasts in Santa Cruz County work to restore steelhead and coho salmon populations to sustainable numbers. "Southern Range" explores the deep entanglements of salmon, fire, human beings, and our shared environment, and urges the importance of multispecies care in dangerous times.
