Description    


Replaced tide gate with structure allowing fish passage; restored estuary above tide gate for high quality salmonid rearing habitat; rehabilitated channel traversing the pasture for fish passage; set back dikes to restore a 100 ft. steam corridor.

Project Benefit    


Restored fish passage. Improved estuarian rearing habitat. Improved sinuosity and channel holding capacity. Increased riparian canopy.
