Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group will be awarded $9.6M to restore habitat in the Big Quilcene River and estuary, benefiting threatened Puget Sound Chinook salmon and other key species.
Channelization, dredging, and bank armoring have disconnected the river from its floodplain and confined it to an artificially straight and high-energy channel that frequently floods. Through this project, the river will be reconnected to its entire 140-acre floodplain, eliminating flood hazards within the community of Quilcene.
The project will also create highly productive spawning and rearing habitat in a high priority location.
