Book excerpt: The goals of this project were to acquire and restore approximately 600 acres of tidal emergent marsh, swamp, slough, and riparian forest habitat in the Columbia Estuary to benefit salmon, Columbian white-tailed deer and other wildlife. The project will help achieve Action 160 of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries' Biological Opinion for the Federal Columbia River Power System, which directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and BPA, in coordination with the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership, to develop and implement an estuary restoration program to protect and enhance ten thousand acres of tidal wetlands and other key habitats over a ten-year period, beginning in 2001, to rebuild productivity for listed salmon populations in the lower Columbia River. The project will also contribute to RPAs 7, 157, 158, 159 and 196.
