US restores 270-acre Skagit estuary to aid endangered Chinook salmon
A large-scale habitat restoration project spanning 270 acres is underway along the South Fork Skagit River in Washington state. Work is scheduled to begin in June 2026 and is expected to be completed by fall 2028. The project aims to reconnect two islands to natural tidal flows, rebuilding a healthier estuarine ecosystem. A primary goal is to support the recovery of the endangered Puget Sound Chinook salmon. The restored habitat will also benefit other wildlife, including waterfowl and shorebirds.
