Chinook 6055 coho 115 really good 108 it
depends on the species but we have a
broad range and they’re all kids from
infants to to basically teenagers seeing
the evolution is what its ended up being
in particular in the near shore it’s
been a dramatic transformation the near
shore is a very important bridge between
the upland and marine systems and it is
a critical link between the two that
kind of make both work if you think
about the Elwha watershed and marine
systems as being a house the nearshore
component of it would be the nursery and
so it provides this wonderful little
oasis of habitat and food and refuge
it’s a very quiet place in a very
tumultuous world I’ve been working in
the near shore I think I started my
first conversations about the Elwha near
shore where in 1995 so just about the
second one years have been due for total
for a second one we’re actually gonna
walk up and around the corner and do a
second set just around the corner here
we’ll see chinook salmon coho steelhead
Chum bull trout and all of those are
federally listed as being endangered
species backporting they are the Elwha
dam removals isn’t just about pulling
dams for fish passage although that’s
certainly a big part of it it’s also
about liberating wood and liberating
sediment and in the near shore those two
elements are what make our beaches
they’re what make our kelp beds they’re
what make our eelgrass beds and those
habitats are the things that are so
critical for the function of the near
shore a hundred years of sediment that’s
been trapped up in the watershed it’s
roughly the same as eight stadium full
of sediment now that the dams are out
the visual aspect of it is so dramatic
that the near shore has actually become
the POE
mr. child for the entire dam removal
project this is the largest dam removal
in the nation and certainly the first of
its kind and so nobody knew what was
going to happen but the good part is
that the ecosystem is going to be
restored from this action
