Description
The target area is located on the long beach peninsula (milepost 6), managed by the department of fish and wildlife (WDFW), as part of the olympic-willapa wildlife area. The 20-acre parcel was purchased in 1991 specifically as habitat for OSB, its larval host plant, early blue violet (viola adunca), and a variety of butterfly nectar plants. The site is currently not occupied by OSB and the long beach population is considered extirpated. Since the acquisition of the property, WDFW has conducted limited periodic restoration activities, including weed and woody species control, mowing, seed collection, seeding, and planting. Some of these efforts were coordinated with the USFWS, in conjunction with management of nearby NWR sites for OSB. WDFW will use funding from the coastal program to intensify restoration efforts, to meet the minimum current definition of suitable habitat , build capacity, and work with partners towards a long-term management plan and monitoring strategy. Protection and maintenance of OSB habitat on long beach supports action 1 of the revised recovery plan for the oregon silverspot butterfly (USFWS 2001). The proposal aligns with the USFWS washington ecological service strategic plan priorities and objectives for the coastal lowland aquatic and marine (CLAM) zone priorities 1 and 2 and objectives 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10, 3.5, and 4.5 and puget sound prairie island (PSSI) zones priorities 1 and 3 and objectives 1, 1.1, 2.1, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 4.2. The project also aligns with the national coastal programs strategic priorities to conserve species, connect habitat, and restore resilient ecosystems and the region 1 implementation plans focus area 3 southwest bays and beaches that target these coastal meadows and dunes and OSB recovery as priorities for the programs investments. Overall, this project meets many USFWS national, regional, and state objectives.
