Project Profile: Fish Passage improvement in Stearns Creek

The primary objective of the barrier correction on an unnamed tributary to Stearns Creek is to replace an existing fish passage barrier with a fish passable structure.  The project will restore salmon access to 2.4 linear miles of potential habitat; approximately 0.38 acres of spawning habitat and 1.51 acres of rearing habitat for the Southwest Washington evolutionary significant unit (ESU) of coho salmon as well as searun cutthroat and resident cutthroat trout.

This project is being sponsored by Lewis County. Read more here: http://hws.ekosystem.us/project/120/81034
