The purpose of the project is protection of healthy Strawberry Point watershed nearshore processes and habitats benefiting juvenile and adult salmon. The primary goal is WRIA 6's Salmon Recovery Plan (SRP) Goal 1: net increase in salmon habitat through voluntary inventory and protection. The SRP states "voluntary opportunities increase the levels of protection through stewardship and conservation easements."
The SRP describes Strawberry Point as a high priority juvenile salmon protection site and very high priority forage fish protection site and in its location adjacent to both forks of the Skagit River is heavily used by six of the twenty-two independent Chinook salmon populations. The project is in Geographic Area 1, is a juvenile Chinook utilization area, is home to sand lance and surf smelt spawning beaches and extensive eelgrass meadows.
This project enables shoreline protection data analysis, planning, implementation and conservation easement efforts. The project includes coordination of data analysis for shoreline prioritization of lands, and creation of implementation plans. Implementation actions include updated stewardship plans, increased participation via Backyard Conservation and Shore Stewards programs on private lands and creation of landowners willing to enter into key habitat conservation easement and other acquisition actions.
