Mainstem Nisqually Restoration and Protection

Nisqually Mainstem Off-Channel Restoration Project Development-Feasibility

Organization	Nisqually River Salmon Recovery Lead Entity
Sponsor	South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group (SPSSEG)
Status	Planned
Schedule

DESCRIPTION

An off-channel habitat assessment completed by SPSSEG and the Tribe in 2004 evaluated the presence and condition of off-channel habitat throughout the Nisqually mainstem. The report identified high priority sites for restoration of off-channel habitat. However, the highest priority projects have not yet been implemented due in large part to a lack of landowner willingness. There is a need to do additional landowner outreach, identify new willing landowners and then assess feasibility and design key projects.
