Estuaries
Estuaries link the ocean and rivers, provide nutrients to the environment, and constitute a vital part of the Puget Sound ecosystem. Estuarine restoration aims to open natural tidal flooding that increases nutrients and food supply, provides access to habitat, and revegetates areas with riparian and marine plants. After estuarine habitat is made accessible to tidal flow, young salmon, birds, crabs, and other wildlife use restored areas readily. Many estuarine projects support local economies and provide safety benefits to the community in addition to habitat improvements.
