Planning and Analysis

Funding and Implementation

Funding for a large Puget Sound Delta Restoration action typically requires mulitple funding sources to support feasibility, design, construction and evaluation of project work.

Objectives and Status

  • Individual salmon recovery plans may have set quantitative goals for river delta restoration.
  • As part of the Puget Sound Vital Signs effort, the Puget Sound Partnership has set an estuary restoration goal, both to restore a proportion of total historical delta wetlands, and to meet salmon recovery objectives.
  • See the pages for individual River Delta sites to find out more information about goals and status for specific systems.
