DESCRIPTION
Permanent protection of 29.9 acres of an undeveloped shoreline property through fee acquisition. The property features 29.9 acres of the northern shoreline of the Campbell Creek-Uncle John Creek estuary in Chapman Cove on Oakland Bay, and consists of approximately 5,330 feet of shoreline, 23.4 acres of wetlands, and 6.5 acres of upland habitat. Small estuaries are nurseries for juvenile Chinook from all over the Puget Sound, as well as for other Oakland Bay salmonid species as they make their way from their natal streams to the Pacific Ocean.

Additionally, Mason County has been wanting to fix a fish blocking culvert on Uncle John Creek under Agate Loop Rd and replace the bridge over Campbell Creek but has been unable to get a construction easement from the previous owner of this property. Both of these projects would be a net benefit for fish and are supported by CLT, but they may impact a small portion of the overall property during the construction and possibly post-construction.
