Skokomish watershed work helps fish
Ecology: Three miles returned to breeding habitat
The last major barriers for salmon passage in the Skokomish River watershed are about to disappear.
Green Diamond Resource Co. put the finishing touches this week on a busy summer of work that included removal of a Tacoma Power diversion dam and replacement of three outdated road culverts with bridges over McTaggert and Gibbons creeks.
The $500,000 project will open more than three miles of fish habitat currently blocked by culverts, as well as the dam just north of the High Steel Bridge near U.S. Forest Service Road 2340 on the southeast side of the Olympic Peninsula, above Hood Canal.
