The Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan included a chapter that briefly described a Puget Sound nearshore restoration strategy to augment limited consideration of the nearshore in watershed-based chapters. Before, during and after publication of the Salmon Recovery Plan, there have been myriad efforts to improve the basis for salmon recovery planning in the nearshore.
Notes
- Redmond et al 2005 provided an initial plan for nearshore salmon recovery.
- Rossenkotter et al 2007 analyzes the degree to which watershed salmon recovery chapters implement regional nearshore recovery strategies as described in Redmond et al 2005 and Volume 1, Chapter 6 of the Puget Sound Chinook Recovery Plan. Three Lead Entity coordinators review each watershed chapter for its nearshore content, and comment on gaps and consistency.
- While identifying juvenile salmon as a "valued ecosystem component" the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project, explicitly chose to not use biological data or information about natal stream distribution of salmon habitat use in its regional nearshore assessment (Cereghino et al 2012).
- File:McElhany et al 2000 viable salmon populations and recovery.pdf describes the characteristics of a viable salmon population, which is the basis of recovery planning.
- Local jurisdictions are required to plan restoration and protection as part of Shoreline Master Program updates which include a restoration and protection planning component.
- FEMA and others considers coastal flooding as part of the Flood Hazard Management system.
- Nearshore salmon assessment has not incorporated work by the Puget Sound Characterization Project.
- Fresh 2006 provides a synopsis of juvenile salmon use of the nearshore.
SRFB Funded Projects
The following projects were derived from the PRISM database as all planning type projects with the word nearshore in their title over the last 13 years. They represent over $5 million of state funds and local match. A number of these efforts were designed to lead to local restoration efforts.
