The Suquamish Tribe with the Elliott Bay Trustee Council will complete eelgrass restoration at Milwaukee Dock, located approximately 200 feet from the beach at Pritchard Park near Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island. The overall project entails filling 2 sub-tidal, artificial depressions covering an area of approximately 3 acres at a depth up to -25 feet (MLLW) to replant with eelgrass. An extensive and dense eelgrass meadow surrounds the area of the former Dock, but channels were dredged through meadow to access the dock. Sparse eelgrass exists in the depressions only to depths between -12 and -14 feet (MLLW). The dredged channels are no longer needed. This proposal will fund restoration of the north depression. The Trustees completed overall restoration design and permitting. The first phase of restoration initiated in 2012 and completed in 2013 was funded by the Trustees and entailed 1) placing fill to return south depression elevations to approximate pre-dredge conditions; and 2) transplanting eelgrass propagated at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Marine Science Lab. The habitat that was destroyed by the dredging will be returned to approximate pre-disturbance elevation and vegetation community to benefit ESA listed Chinook salmon, as well as coho, steelhead, bull trout, and forage fish such as herring.
