Description
The Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition (SAWC), Ketchikan Indian Community (KIC), and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) are partnering to restore habitat for pink, chum, coho, and sockeye salmon and steelhead trout in Margaret Creek. This project enhanced both rearing and spawning habitat by constructing log jams and placing large woody debris in the channel, removing culverts, and removing road fill blocking access to the floodplain. Approximately 2 miles of salmon stream were restored.
No riparian work was performed; submitting preliminary metrics including riparian work was probably a misunderstanding, as it was not intended.
Project Benefit
This project will benefit four species of Pacific salmon in Margaret Creek by restoring access to the floodplain, restoring fish passage, and improving instream habitat until riparian trees grow large enough that they can naturally fall into the stream and create fish habitat. Accomplishments
