The North Olympic Salmon Coalition worked with project partners, including Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Elwha Tribe, to complete a feasibility study on restoration of Morse Creek. Harbor Consulting Engineers and their subcontractors provided professional services. The feasibility study included: sediment transport studies, hydraulic modeling, survey work, aerial photography investigations, review of historic conditions and soil test pits. The results enabled the assessment of the likely success of reconnecting the historic Morse Creek streambed and floodplain and the development of several conceptual designs. These designs were presented to project partners and the community. This process has strengthened partnerships and clarified partner vision for the project, resulting in commitment to continue the project into final design. Morse Creek, historically highly productive but channelized along the east side of its valley, is degraded to the point of little productive spawning and rearing habitat. The North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity Strategy recommends a watershed scale plan to recover and restore the productivity of eight anadromous species. Phase I was acquisition of Morse Creek's floodplain wetland complex. Phase II engineering, hydraulic & ecological analysis provided: long-term vision for restoration of Morse Creek and estuary; engineering plans for short & long term projects; including nearly half of historic salmonid habitat.
