Editor's Notes
- the species of salmon in the Nisqually. Chinook and Steelhead are listed under the Federal Endangered Species act.
- Ownership of main estuary between I-5 and Puget Sound is now all in government ownership. The yellow land now owned by the Tribe was purchased from the last remaining private owner in 1999. This purchase was the result of many years of conversation between the Tribe and the owner to develop a relationship of trust. The purchase of the land was essential to make it available for restoration.
- The phases of estuary restoration in the Nisqually in terms of the major dike removal projects. The Tribe has been the lead on the first three projects. These all took place on lands owned by the Tribe, that it purchased in 1999 to make it possible to restore. The National Wildlife Refuge is partnered with the Tribe and Ducks Unlimited on the plans to implement the 760 acre restoration on their land. This is happening right now, scheduled for completion this fall, and is the largest ever estuary restoration project in Puget Sound.
- The blue channels are current channels in the estuary. The red channels are the ones that will be restored when the dike is fully removed this summer. The red channels equal 21 miles of restored tidal channels.
- Regional context of project – will connect with state park, pack forest, tacoma power, and restoration work already completed on the Mashel River.
- before and after pictures where habitat destroying riprap rock was removed from the bank and replaced with habitat forming engineered log jams.
