The Whidbey Camano Land Trust assessed and prioritized community and landowner willingness to protect habitat at the southern tip of Camano Island for salmon protection and recovery. The project resulted in a prioritization and implementation plan outlining which properties to protect based on landowner willingness and the property's contribution to salmon protection and recovery as well as a timeline for pursuing protection of important properties within the area. The area included in the assessment was approximately 2.5 miles of shoreline at the southern tip of Camano Island and the associated uplands. This area provides a number of important functions for salmon which are identified as high priorities in the WRIA 6 Salmon Recovery Plan, including habitat ranked as very high priority for forage fish and high priority for juvenile salmon. The area also includes important riparian functions, migration corridors, and a wetland. Most importantly, the feeder bluffs within the area have been ranked as exceptional for their importance as a nearshore sediment source. These habitats support ESA listed Chinook salmon and other anadromous fish populations. Further, this stretch of shoreline also includes a bigleaf maple-red alder/sword fern - fringecup element occurrence in the State of Washington Natural Heritage Plan.
