Riparian Habitat Restoration Restoration activities increase quality and quantity of spawning and rearing habitat for Chinook, Coho, Chum, Steelhead, and Cutthroat Trout on the rivers, streams, and tributaries of the Olympic Peninsula. Habitat improvements include remeandering channelized streams, strategic placement of large woody debris, riparian tree planting, fish passage barrier removal, gravel nourishment, and livestock fencing.
***** Forage Fish Estuaries and nearshore habitats are essential to salmon recovery in the Puget Sound and Hood Canal. NOSC supports efforts to protect and acquire estuarine habitat, and participates in cooperative projects with Tribes, WDFW, Marine Science Centers, and Marine Resource Committees to assess the health of these areas and identify and implement restoration projects. NOSC Forage Fish Spawning Site Investigation for East Jefferson, Northwestern Kitsap, and North Mason Counties is now available.

A known forage fish spawning beach, these site improvement will hopefully make the habitat more attractive to sand lance and surf smelt looking for a place to lay their eggs... ***** Project Support As a Regional Fisheries Enhancement Group, NOSC provides financial support to a variety of restoration project partners and sponsors.
