WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) propose to complete final designs to restore tidal exchange and reconnect a pocket estuary (Floyds Cove) and coastal stream (Bodley Cr) on McNeil Island, implement the project on Floyds Cove, and complete initial implementation tasks at Bodley Cr. McNeil Island offers a unique opportunity to protect and restore habitat in a large setting within South Puget Sound. Much of the marine shoreline is in a natural state, retaining high quality due to limited public access. However, development related to over 100 yrs as a federal/state penitentiary (closed 2011) resulted in some locations being highly impacted and relict debris along the shorelines. WDFW and Dept. of Natural Resources are working with Dept. of Corrections to restore the shoreline to natural state, while retaining the function of the perimeter road for island operations. The roadway bisects Bodley Cr and Floyds Cove, disconnecting impounded wetlands from tidal influence by undersized culverts, which are now failing. At Floyd Cove, WDFW will replace the culvert with a 60' bridge to restore full tidal exchange and fish passage, remove shore armor and debris, and install beach nourishment. At Bodley Cr, WDFW will remove the standpipe to lower the impounded pond and install beaver dam analogs. WDFW will replace the culvert at Bodley Cr in a later phase. This project will benefit juvenile salmonids, including Chinook, forage fish and other estuarine fish and wildlife.
