Notes

  • Describes strategies and provides examples for restoration of geomorphology in Salish Sea rivers.
  • Tim Abbe is one of the originators of engineered log jam technologies from early work on the protection of transportation corridors on the outer coast.
  • Some of the techniques are being tested in the South Fork Nooksack Floodplain in projects by the Lummi Nation and others.
