This project produced a 100% engineering design/restoration plan to restore 1,500 lineal feet of important nearshore and marine riparian habitat privately owned in Port Madison, Bainbridge Island. This project completes Phase 1 of a multi phased project and included: project management (provided by Washington Sea Grant), site assessment (environmental review, archaeological and cultural review and a full cultural resources survey (performed by Cultural Resources Associates), design alternatives review and selection by a stakeholder group comprised of the Powel Family, Bainbridge Island Land Trust, UW Sea Grant, City of Bainbridge Island, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Suquamish Tribe, a final preferred alternative resulting in a final engineered design (provided by Coastal Geologic Services), landowner and neighbor outreach, and the start of the permitting process. The project was created following a request for assistance by the Powel family and grew into a shore and riparian restoration plan involving armor removal, native vegetation plantings and the engagement of willing private shoreline property landowners and a number of stakeholders, including the Suquamish Tribe, City of Bainbridge Island, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and Bainbridge Island Land Trust. The restoration design, when implemented in Phase II, will 1) increase nearshore habitat critically important to juvenile salmon by removing 1050 cubic yards of armor material; 2) Restore nearshore processes, structure and functions in an area utilized by Chinook and where Coho salmon have been documented to spawn in the single large tributary found within the bay (Coho Creek), where there is documented presence of forage-fish (herring, sandlance, and surf smelt, northern anchovy), and where Eelgrass is abundant along semi-protected shorelines of Port Madison by increasing salt marsh habitats two-fold and by increasing the functioning riparian area by 32,795 square feet; 3) Showcase this project to other landowners to increase awareness of the importance of restoring nearshore habitats in Puget Sound; 4) keep partners, including the Powel Family, Bainbridge Island Land Trust, UW Sea Grant, City of Bainbridge Island, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Suquamish Tribe engaged in a unique opportunity to restore a large stretch of private held shoreline. The result of this project allows for the project sponsor to submit a request grant funds to implement the design during a Phase II construction phase, hopefully to take place in 2012.
