| Abstract | Long Description |
This project will permanently preserve and restore wetlands and salmon streams on approximately 124 acres, representing the key remaining unprotected portions of the Lower Tarboo Creek floodplain joining Tarboo-Dabob Bay. In Phase I, completed in 2006, four properties, totaling 285 acres, were secured and wetland restoration is underway. The proposed project will secure four parcels that are key to forming a continuous nature preserve of floodplain wetlands and salmon habitat from the Lower Tarboo Valley to Tarboo-Dabob Bay; protecting a high diversity of at-risk freshwater and estuarine species including five salmon stocks, forage fish species, numerous shorebird, waterfowl, and land bird species. |
