===Threatened/endangered species=== A number of endangered plants and animals are found in Sonoma County, including the [[California clapper rail]] (''Rallus longirostris obsoletus''), [[salt marsh harvest mouse]] (''Reithrodontomys raviventris''), [[northern red-legged frog]] (''Rana aurora''), [[Sacramento splittail]] (''Pogonichthys macrolepidotus''), California freshwater shrimp (''[[Syncaris pacifica]]''), showy Indian clover (''[[Trifolium amoenum]]''), Hickman's potentilla (''[[Potentilla hickmanii]]''), ''[[northern spotted owl]]'' (Strix occidentalis caurina), and ''[[marbled murrelet]]'' (Brachyramphus marmoratus). Species of special local concern include the [[California tiger salamander]] (''Ambystoma californiense''), [[coho salmon]], and some endangered plants, including Burke's goldfields (''[[Lasthenia burkei]]''), Sebastopol meadowfoam (''[[Limnanthes vinculans]]''), and Sonoma sunshine or Baker's stickyseed (''[[Blennosperma bakeri]]''). Endangered species that are [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to Sonoma County include Sebastopol meadowfoam, Sonoma sunshine, and Pitkin Marsh lily ([[Lilium pardalinum subsp. pitkinense|''Lilium pardalinum'' subsp. ''pitkinense'']]). The [[Sonoma County Water Agency]] has had a Fisheries Enhancement Program since 1996. Its website says:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scwa.ca.gov/environment/natural_resources/fisheries_enhancement.php |publisher=Sonoma County Water Agency |title=Fisheries Enhancement Program |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002073118/http://www.scwa.ca.gov/environment/natural_resources/fisheries_enhancement.php |archive-date=October 2, 2009 }}</ref> <blockquote>"The primary focus of the FEP is to enhance habitat for three [[salmonid]]s: [[Rainbow trout|Steelhead]], [[Chinook salmon]], and [[Coho salmon]]. These three species are listed as threatened under the U.S. [[Endangered Species Act]]. The California Department of Fish and Game considers the Coho salmon endangered."</blockquote>
