Snohomish County used this funding to place 108 pieces of large woody material with root wads in 18 jams at two sites along the lower Snohomish River known as Field's Riffle and Norwegian Bay. We controlled and removed Japanese Knotweed and blackberries from ~8 acres of riparian area and replanted ~4.5 acres of riparian forest with a mix of native species. Road fill was also removed at Field's Riffle to reconnect 2.3 acres of wetland with the Snohomish River. Enhancement actions were completed along approximately three-quarters of a mile of shoreline. The sites are owned by Snohomish County The Snohomish lower main stem and estuary provide critical habitat for Chinook and other salmonids. Juvenile salmon use the productive marsh and edge habitat for rearing. Reduced habitat capacity and productivity from the loss of ~85% of the tidal marsh, reduced channel edge complexity from armoring and removal of ~20,000 large woody debris (LWD) pieces is hypothesized to be a primary limiting factor for Chinook salmon populations. Habitat-population performance modeling completed for the Snohomish Basin Salmon Conservation Plan predicts substantial gains in Chinook viability from estuary habitat restoration and LWD jam placement. The Plan identifies restoration of rearing habitat in the estuary and lower mainstem as a primary focus of the recovery strategy. Although several large estuarine marsh restoration projects are in the planning and implementation phases along the sloughs, no projects have been implemented along the highly-modified mainstem channel in the tidally-influenced zone. With high salmon densities passing down the main stem, the lack of main-stem habitat is cause for concern.
