Small interview with South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition associate Michael Ponce

I interviewed avid fisherman Michael Ponce who is temporarily residing near Los Gatos Creek for our podcast, to get his point of view on the issues going on in the Watershed. We touched on different topics for this episode like his roots, mental health, and what steps San Jose might need to take to bring back a healthier salmon population.
