This bulkhead removal and shoreline restoration project will remove over 514 linear feet of shore armor consisting of rockery bulkhead, revetment and pilings and significant fill along a priority barrier lagoon embayment in Dyes Inlet. Shore armor is known to have detrimental impacts to nearshore processes like reducing sediment supply, interrupting sediment transport and impacting tidal flow, ultimately degrading nearshore habitat conditions. High quality nearshore habitats are integral to the lifecycles of forage fish and out-migrating and rearing salmonids. This project will increase the extent of local tidal inundation and cross-shore connectivity and in turn increase embayment habitat for salmonids including coho, chum and juvenile Chinook. It also will replace over 0.75 acres of lawn with upper intertidal, salt marsh, backshore, and marine riparian vegetation increasing shade and habitat complexity and connectivity. The project site has been identified as a high priority, tier 1 restoration opportunity in the West Sound Nearshore Integration and Synthesis of Chinook Salmon Recovery Priorities report (2017).
