The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe has been awarded a $1,402,396 Cooperative Agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Habitat Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.463). The purpose of this award is to address one of the last remaining fish passage barriers in the Ennis Creek watershed by replacing undersized culverts on a city road in Port Angeles, Washington, with a bridge. This project will benefit threatened Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, and Chinook salmon by improving fish passage. The new bridge will also help reduce maintenance costs and the risk of road failure and flooding. The award period spans from September 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027.
