Stillwater to lead Sultan River salmon habitat enhancement project
Bare mudflats came alive again with octopus, crabs, slugs, and juvenile fish as Stillwater completed a nearly 1 acre eelgrass bed restoration project along Humboldt Bay in northern California. Eelgrass is a protected habitat in Humboldt Bay and is heavily used by shorebirds, juvenile fish, and marine invertebrates. A 10-person crew worked through stormy and extremely muddy conditions to transplant a total of 11,664 plugs from nearby eelgrass beds into the disturbed area.
Part of a larger idle fuel oil pipeline removal that began in late 2009, the project also involved the restoration of adjacent salt marsh habitat. Both the eelgrass bed and restored salt marsh areas will be monitored for the next five years to ensure continued successful habitat restoration.
