Salt Creek Habitat Project Assessment (Funded 2001)
Current Status: Active

Through the project elements of habitat survey, analysis, activity list prioritization, landowner contract, and concept development, the partners and the community will address the issues of habitat restoration and protection on a watershed scale. This assessment is clearly identified in the WRIA 19 Limiting Factors Analysis as needed for all watersheds. Salt Creek is one of the few Tier 1 watersheds without a completed Priority Activities and Concepts List per the NOBLE Strategy. The habitat survey will address a variety of LF noted across WRIA 19 while focusing on the specific needs of the Tier 1 Salt Creek watershed for habitat protection and restoration. Providing a comprehensive approach to recovery of physical and biological processes necessary for properly functioning salmon habitat in a formal biological and physical context will greatly enhance project partners' (including Tribal, RFEG, WDFW and Conservation District) efforts to design, fund and implement restoration and protection projects on a watershed scale. The project addresses needs of the wild coho stock while addressing habitat loss for cutthroat, chum and steelhead. The project's outreach efforts will help establish a sense of watershed stewardship among landowners and residents in the Salt Creek system.
