Washington State Launches 270-Acre Wetland Restoration to Boost Chinook Salmon Habitat
Construction began in June 2026 on a major coastal restoration project in Washington's Skagit estuary. The project involves removing aging sea defenses and breaching river levees on two islands to convert 270 acres of former farmland into natural intertidal wetlands. The primary goal is to create essential habitat for juvenile Puget Sound Chinook salmon, a species that depends on such environments for early survival. The restoration work is expected to be completed by autumn 2028.
