Project Description
The Nooksack River early Chinook populations have diminished substantially from historic levels and are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Habitat degradation is considered the leasing cause for he decline of salmon populations in the Nooksack Watershed. Since 2001 salmon recovery partners have implements 20 log jam restoration projects in the SF Nooksack, some involving multiple phases of construction. Monitoring ha identified pool increase and that during the summer migration season 70% of chinook were observed holding in pools formed by the log jams.
