Wildlife Habitat in the Port

· Posted Friday March 9, 2007 by jamie

The Trib business section features an article today about a Port of Tacoma project to add wildlife habitat along the Puyallup River. The Gog-le-hi-te II project will encompass 6.2 acres next to the earlier-developed Gog-le-hi-te project. Neat stuff, great for salmon habitat.

Interestingly enough, I also received an email today from Citizens for a Healthy Bay detailing a unique opportunity to help with a different habitat area along the Middle Waterway for Earth Day. Details follow:

Earth Day, the Perfect Time to Donate A Day to the Bay!

CHB and an Army of Volunteers will work to complete a variety of important tasks, so why donate your time to Middle Waterway:

Middle Waterway plays an important role in restoring Commencement Bay’s ecosystem. Through the Middle Waterway Shore Restoration Project, more than three acres of intertidal, salt marsh, and riparian habitat are again growing along Middle Waterway. The site has been excavated and a natural shoreline has been created complete with natural marsh habitat, which benefits the surrounding wildlife including shore birds, salmonids, marine fish, and river otter.

Contact Gina Quiram at CHB for more info!

We’ve done volunteer work with CHB before and had a great time. I highly recommend it!

  1. considering all the damage being done to the Puyallup river watershed upstream of Gog-le-hi-te II, the effect of Gog-le-hi-te II should be zero.
