Central Kitsap Riparian Corridor, Ph 2
- Status
- Funded in 1999
The Central Kitsap Riparian Corridor begins Phase 2 of the Hood Canal Salmon Sanctuary efforts. This project targets Big Beef Creek, on east Hood Canal. The creek is home to 5 important salmonid stocks. The WDFW proposes to protect 330 acres of key salmon habitat through fee-title and conservation easement purchases. The project connects existing protected habitat with the upper watershed and headwaters to provide quality, overwintering refuge and passage for coho salmon and upland wildlife. It also ensures the stability of water quality for the chum stock (proposed for listing) that utilize the lower reaches. The Hood Canal Salmon Sanctuary is a cooperative effort which includes governmental agencies and tribal and community organizations.
