The correct alternative is Cleanup efforts have effectively ruined the salmon's habitat.

Besides all threats such as climate change, predation and diseases, habitat loss is the worst problem for the salmon in Puget Sound. Being by loss of access, habitat destruction, pesticide use, aquaculture, urban development and rising water temperatures in streams, it is important to protect the habitat and species, both for the environment and for the local economy.
