California's struggling salmon are about to get a lot more room to move.

On Thursday, the California Department of Water Resources officially launched the "Big Notch" project on the Sacramento River, just along the Yolo Bypass. It's the largest floodplain salmon rearing effort in state history.

"As part of his work there is going to be quite a bit of excavation so we can encourage folks to take a little sample of soil," joked Ted Craddock with the Department of Water Resources. "Because that will help with our construction project as well."
