This project will build upon the two previous feasibility studies for the Iverson Marsh (Phillip Williams and Associates, 2001 and Sheldon & Associates, 2001) to further address the feasibility of restoring inter-tidal marsh at Iverson Marsh. The project area is approximately 120 acres and consists of 3,200 linear feet of shoreline with one hundred acres currently diked, drained and farmed for hay. It is located on the western edge of Livingston Bay on Camano Island, and in WRIA 6 High Priority Geographic Area 1 (ICSRP 2005, p. 27).
The 2001 feasibility studies included restoration alternatives and recommended that additional studies ensue to evaluate potential flood hazard risks to neighboring properties from proposed restoration actions. The main goal of this project is to integrate the stakeholder’s concerns into an acceptable restoration alternative. Island County is interested in balancing the community’s concerns with improving habitat for listed species and water quality. Staff will facilitate neighborhood/stakeholder meetings to work with existing plans and information from feasibility studies to inform the landowners to reach a consensus on alternatives to model and evaluate risks, and to explain the site restoration benefits to advance habitat restoration actions at Iverson Preserve.
The completed restoration project would improve feeding and rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmon.
