Located at river mile 0.6, the Terminal 108 site consists of approximately 1.2 acres of combined public shoreline access and intertidal fish and wildlife habitat. The Port excavated approximately 0.6 acres of existing filled upland area in 1988 to create a 0.4 acre intertidal habitat restoration site, surrounded with approximately 0.2 acres of native riparian vegetation. This restoration project served as compensation for construction of a new container cargo pier in the East Waterway. The restored intertidal mud/sand substrate and emergent and riparian vegetation at Terminal 108 off set the disruption of approximately 0.4 acres of low intertidal and shallow subtidal industrial bulkhead area in the East Waterway. The restored site produces seven to nine times more invertebrate food prey items, essential to juvenile migratory fish, than the site altered by the cargo pier construction. In addition, the restored fish and wildlife habitat area is surrounded by public use improvements, allowing citizens to benefit from the restored riparian area, which replaced a formerly paved industrial area.
