Location
Date of this update

2. Problem(s) addressed (e.g. habitat degradation, species of fish (juvenile salmon, etc. (use categories from Lessons Learned Report)

habitat degradation, and species of fish (juvenile salmon)

3. Project Description (100 words or less. Please include qualitative information, e.g. acres of habitat restored, miles of steam reopened to migration, and legislative authorization, e.g. WRDA, ISTEA, CWA/NEP, CZMA, etc.)

Lacks funding. Restore 28-acres of intertidal and shallow subtidal area, including mudflats and fringing saltwater wetland behind a levee by replacing constricting tidal gates with large culverts. Project has improve anadromous fish access to spawning creeks.

4. Goals/Benefits (quantify where possible using measures of success list)

Twenty six acres of intertidal mudflat and nearshore habitat could be restored. This is important rearing and feeding area for young salmon. Additionally, an improvement to water quality of Little Clam Bay could be expected from increased tidal flushing if the project were completed.
