The 3 Crabs Nearshore and Estuarine Restoration Project will remove infrastructure, fill and armoring at the site of the former 3 Crabs Restaurant.  This project will restore historic wetlands and improve public access at a newly established WDFW Wildlife Viewing Area along Dungeness Bay and Meadowbrook Creek.  Meadowbrook Creek is the last freshwater tributary to the Dungeness River and provides essential rearing habitat for multiple species of outmigrating Dungeness River salmon.  This project will improve the ecological function of over 40 acres of estuarine, riparian and nearshore wetlands and will restore ½ mile of stream channel.  SRFB funds from this request will be used to work with stakeholders and partners to advance ESRP funded 10% conceptual designs to 100% design sets for Phase II engineering concurrent with ESRP funded Phase I engineering efforts.  Synchronization of Phase I and Phase II engineering efforts (removal of road fill dike and removal of a flow restricting creosoted bridge) will allow both phases of restoration construction to be conducted simultaneously to streamline project costs and yield stronger habitat benefits.
