DESCRIPTION
This folder is currently a placeholder for restoration actions in Padilla Bay until the focus of salmon restoration shifts to other species or out-migrating Skagit Chinook can access nearshore rearing habitat in Padilla Bay through the Swinomish Channel. Due to nearshore modifications at the southern end of the Swinomish Channel, salinity levels limit access to out-migrating juvenile Chinook salmon. Refer to the McGlinn Causeway project in the Nearshore Rearing Habitat folder for more information on the issue and plans to resolve it.
