Tidal Fish Passage & Connectivity
WDFW worked with tribal partners and restoration practitioners to complete a study of fish movement in estuarine habitats, particularly juvenile salmon in tidal environments, such as embayments and river deltas. This study is intended to provide technical background for improvement of tidal barrier assessment and evaluation, as well as design of tidal water crossing structures (culverts, bridges, tidegates, etc.).
This is an ESRP project under RCO Contract 16-2282 This study was funded by ESRP and the Washington Dept of Transportation (GCB 3219)
