Tidal Channel Reference Model
border| and the Skagit Delta (Hood 2007), SRSC with support from ESRP and NOAA Restoration Center is completing a reference model for Puget Sound tidal channels. This project will support the following activities in the delta restoration community:
Design of channel restoration projects based on delta island area. Quantification of the recovery of delta function as a proportion of total potential function. Use of channel parameters as a tool for estimating fish rearing services, allowing estimation of restoration project benefits and comparison of alternative restoration designs. Quantification of pilot channel excavation as method for accelerating recovery of function. Prediction of the effects of restoration context on recovered channel geometry
