Kuiu Island Stream Restoration
| Synopsis: | This project will implement instream and riparian restoration on approximately 3.9 km of high value salmon and steelhead streams in the Saginaw Creek, Kadake Creek, and Browns Creek watersheds on Kuiu Island in Southeast Alaska. Timber harvest, road building, and log jam removal activities have resulted in a lack of large, key pieces of wood in the streams and floodplains of these sites, and limited future recruitment of large wood from the riparian floodplain. Heavy equipment and a helicopter will be used to place approximately 1,000 large wood pieces within these watersheds to re-establish and create spawning and rearing habitat for pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), chum salmon (O. keta), coho salmon (O. kisutch), and steelhead trout (O. mykiss). |
