Prior to the 1920's, Raab's Lagoon was a properly functioning subestuary on Quartermaster Harbor on Maury Island. A bulkhead was placed across the mouth to provide a road to Maury Island. Later, this bulkhead was partially removed and replaced with a water control structure that allowed for boat moorage in the lagoon.

This project would involve examination of the lagoon to determine whether and how it could be modified to improve habitat value for salmonids. This examination would require the participation of th eporoperty owner and those who moor boats in the lagoon to better understand how it is managed currently, the implactions of any potential changes to both current users and the existing habitat, and ways to mitigate the harmful impacts of potential changes. Potential changes could range from modifications of the wter con
