DESCRIPTION
This project would restore fish passage to five streams on Vashon Island by replacing existing culverts with improved culverts or bridges. The streams are Mileta, Ellisport, Camp Sealth, Bakes and Tsugwalla Creeks. Restoring Fish passage at these locations was evaluated as having direct Chinook benefit by opening up currently inaccessible habitat to serve as pocket estuaries. These fish passage blockage were confirmed int he 2000/2001 Washington Trout field survey of passage blockages across Vashon/Maury Island.
This project depends on voluntary cooperation of private landowners.
