The Whidbey Camano Land Trust (Land Trust) and project partners will develop a preliminary design for restoration of critical salmon and wildlife habitat on priority lands in Livingston Bay on Camano Island, and seize upon current acquisition opportunities if restoration is deemed feasible. The Livingston Bay Protection and Restoration Planning project will investigate restoration feasibility of former tidal estuary and wetland habitat that is currently managed as diked farmland, and protect those lands and adjacent nearshore habitat to benefit multiple species of salmonids, including Endangered Species Act listed Puget Sound Chinook salmon and Puget Sound steelhead. The 317 acres targeted for restoration planning includes over three quarters of a mile of Livingston Bay shoreline and 25 acres of tidelands directly adjacent to over 7,500 acres of protected habitat within Port Susan Bay and the Stillaguamish River Delta. At present, up to 200 acres are available for acquisition. The Livingston Bay Protection and Restoration Planning project will advance process-based restoration efforts prioritized by the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP) by building off of the conceptual design work already completed and securing a portion of that project footprint.
