Eelgrass Restoration

 

PCRS has entered into a partnership with the University of Puget Sound and the Pierce Conservation District in developing an eelgrass restoration test project. This should begin in early 2008 and involves excavating old sediment and replacing it with clean fill in an area contaminated with woody debris leftover from an old lumber mill.

 

We also hope to install bare-root or plugs in certain areas and monitor them in comparison to areas set aside for natural regeneration and areas that are left alone.
