    Project Description    
The purpose of this project is to restore to 1942 vintage the western most 1500 feet of the Northern shoreline of Sinclair Inlet and to increase the productive area of existing estuary by 1.7 acres. (See enclosed, photos, mapping, and drawings) Sinclair Inlet along with it's shoreline and estuary is a major passage way and nursery for Chinook, Coho, Chum Steelhead Salmon and Searun Cutthroat trout entering and leaving Gorst Creek. Several miles of the Northern shoreline have been hardened with riprap to accommodate SR 16 and PSNS railroad. The only portion of Northern shoreline between Gorst and Navy Yard City Interchange that can be restored is the subject of this grant request.



This project will include two phases. Both phases together will restore 1,820 feet of shoreline and 4.2 acres of estuary. Phase 1 of the project, the subject of this grant, will effect the cleanup of all 1160 feet of the existing shoreline, restore 620+ feet of shoreline, and create 1.7 acres of additional estuary. Phase two of the project will be the subject of further grant requests and will be completed when additional funding is available. (See enclosed chart for further site information).



The importance of estuarine and shoreline habitat to salmon productivity is well documented. There is a direct correlation between outgoing wild chinook smolt survival from Gorst Creek and the health, and configuration of the shoreline of Sinclair Inlet. Over 1000 wild Chinook spawn in Gorst Creek.
