DESCRIPTION
This project restored over 30 acres of undeveloped habitat of the Carpenter Creek estuary, near Kingston, by removal of a tidal-restricting, undersized culvert at South Kingston Road. The culvert was replaced with a 90 foot bridge. The project increased natural tidal hydrologic fluctuations (inundation and frequency) in sufficient quantities to restore and enhance the following functional ecosystem processes and habitats: Intertidal mudflats and salt marsh habitat (estuarine reclamation through culvert and fill removal) Nearshore sediment delivery and transport (consistent and lasting sediment supply, spawning substrate, beach nourishment) Barrier-free fish passage (Carpenter Creek is a key Puget Sound sub estuary for spawning habitat and for juvenile salmonid smolt outmigration to the Pacific Ocean) Eelgrass and microalgae beds (refuge from predation and nursery areas for important Puget Sound fin fish and food webs for invertebrate species) Marine riparian and tidal-freshwater forests (fish and wildlife habitat, pollution control, microclimate, water quality anti-degradation, soil stability and erosion control, nutrient, detrital, macroinvertebrate and other terrestrial inputs) Reduction of watershed/estuary/shoreline fragmentation (habitat benefits to Puget Sound Chinook, steelhead trout, and other important and/or listed fish species - coho, chum, sea-run cutthroat) Protection of prey base, salmon feeding areas for state and federally endangered Orca Whales
