DESCRIPTION
This multi-component, multi-partner, and multi-phase project will improve salmon habitat and ecosystem functions on Lower Salt Creek and its associated estuary (RM 0 to 2.5). The project will restore up to 2.5 miles of Lower Salt Creek, which includes estuarine, nearshore and riverine habitat.Acquisition will provide long-term protection for Salt Creek estuary and nearshore habitat through fee simple and/or conservation easements on Lower Salt Creek properties. Agate Point and Crescent Beach is identified as priority #3 in The Western Strait of Juan de Fuca Salmonid Habitat Conservation Plan, which identified and prioritized habitats most important to salmon and steelhead productivity and survival. Restoration will accelerate the recovery of natural processes through the removal of culverts and associated road infrastructure impacts, topographic restoration, and placement of large wood where appropriate. Restoration and acquisition will likely be accomplished in partnership with the North Olympic Land Trust, North Olympic Salmon Coalition, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Makah Tribe, Clallam County, and Washington State Parks.
