The Port Townsend Bay Shoreline Acquisition Project protected existing high quality nearshore habitat used by summer chum and coho salmon and the associated uplands that support healthy habitat functions and processes. This acquisition added to Old Fort Townsend State Park: a) 45 acres of tidelands via a conservation easement (CE) stretching north along Glen Cove for 4,600 ft; b) 29.62 acres of forest uplands in fee ownership; and c) a Conservation Easement preserving 219.88 acres of wooded uplands in perpetuity. The tidelands, shoreline, and associated uplands offer natural habitat conditions indicative of low human disturbance areas and contains naturally eroding bluffs that provide sediments to sustain healthy forage fish spawning beach habitat (documented on site), and 25 acres of eelgrass beds. The shoreline is relatively pristine, free of development, and forested for its entirety. Protecting the subject property’s marine intertidal habitat will preserve an abundant high quality source of important highly utilized nearshore habitat that serves as a food source, refuge, and nursery habitat for the nearby Chimacum Creek native summer chum and coho salmon runs.
