    Project Description    
This project will restore 1,200' of estuarine shoreline and 13 acres of adjacent upland habitat along Dogfish Creek estuary. The project is located on Liberty Bay on the west side of central Puget Sound. This project is contiguous to a major 2nd Round SRFB project: removal of a culvert/construction of a bridge to restore over 4 acres of estuarine habitat. This shoreline/estuary complex is listed as critical habitat by NMFS for the recovery of Puget Sound chinook salmon and is a designated shoreline conservancy area by Poulsbo zoning. Dogfish Creek has important runs of chinook, coho, chum, steelhead salmon and searun cutthroat trout. This project is an integral component of the City Parks Department's future Salmon Park and planned Poulsbo Environmental Learning Center.



The project will restore native conifers and complex habitat structure to the shoreline. The land will be designated as passive open space and set aside for habitat restoration. The public will access the property through designated trails to learn about habitat restoration, the ecological interaction between the terrestrial and aquatic (freshwater and estuarine) environments, and observe fish and wildlife.
