Restoration is underway, with first tides on October 15, 2019. Leque Island is bisected by a causeway constructed to connect Camano Island and the Mainland, with restoration focused on the southern half of the island. There are additional restoration actions conceptualized for improving connectivity on a naturally breached area on the northern island.
