Estuarine NAPs
- Status
- Funded in 1999
This proposal is for the acquisition of estuarine habitats within three Puget Trough Natural Area Preserves - Dabob Bay, Skookum Inlet, and Kennedy Creek. These sites contain high quality estuarine natural wetlands and associated uplands. The proposed purchases target tidal river and salt marsh ecosystems which offer natural spawning areas and important habitat for shorebirds and salmon. The Kennedy Creek supports a genetically distinct population of Chum Salmon. Dabob Bay contains a high quality coastal spit with native vegetation. Portions of the preserve are highly visible to Hwy. 101 travelers and are popular bird-watching areas.
Location
Dabob Bay NAP is located in Tarboo Bay, northeast of Quilcene; Kennedy Creek NAP is located off Highway 101 near the Mason/Thurston County line; Skookum Inlet NAP is located approximately one mile northeast of the town of Kamilche, west of Highway 101.
