Restoration of salt marsh shoreline within the Dabob Bay Natural Area, Puget Sound, WA (2014)

Northwest Watershed Institute has been working to protect and restore Tarboo-Dabob Bay, one of the largest and least developed salt marsh estuaries remaining in Puget Sound. PMEP funds helped restore a high priority shoreline property by removing all the infrastructure on a past residential site and planting native species. The parcel has ¼ mile of nearshore tidelands and saltmarsh fringed shoreline and is habitat for a diversity of fish species, including juvenile Hood Canal summer chum salmon and Puget Sound Chinook salmon.
