Salmon runs have been monitored by the South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition (SBCCC), which also does creek cleanups. Removing trash and junk from the creek have improved conditions for salmon spawning, and it's been paying off: https://sbcleancreeks.com/. This is how they monitor the salmon: https://sbcleancreeks.com/spawning.html. Here's a TV story about the salmon and SBCCC: https://abc7news.com/chinook-salmon-season-bay-area-waterways-creek/14110049/. Here's a map showing where salmon have been spotted: https://sbcleancreeks.com/spawning-map/SCU-Map.html. Here's a video of SBCCC's recent town hall meeting in Campbell, where they talked about their creek cleanups and salmon monitoring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFakm4nY0VA
