This project addresses the work plan's highest priority: protection of intact habitats. The Project's 13 acres include 450 lineal feet of nearshore habitat that is enriched by nutrients from the 1,050 feet of forested bluff. The property and its extensive eelgrass and kelp bed tidelands lie within in the highest priority area (geographic area 1) of the WRIA 6 Multi-Species Salmon Recovery Plan, particularly important for in an out-migrating Stillaguamish River salmon.
