This Cooperative Agreement award, totaling $241,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685). The funds will support preliminary planning and design activities to restore fish access to slough and tidal floodplain habitats in three priority sites along the lower Smith River estuary in California. This includes completing surveys, developing preliminary designs up to 10% for Islas Slough and Spruce Creek, and providing preliminary designs less than 10% for the Upper Tillas Slough. The project will evaluate habitat conditions, potential impacts, and opportunities to create diverse tidal and freshwater habitats to benefit anadromous, marine, and terrestrial species. These preliminary planning and design activities are critical first steps towards restoring over 60 acres and 8,300 feet of coastal freshwater and tidal stream and wetland habitats in the Smith River watershed, which have been significantly degraded since levee construction in the 1970s.
