Squad helped continue significant past-efforts by the Duwamish Alive Coalition at North Winds Weir by picking-up trash and planting Carex lyngbyei. Low-tides must be anticipated so that the muddy planing zone won’t be inundated with water.
This site is very important for Chinook salmon, as it is the transition zone between fresh water and salt water. Additionally, there is off-channel habitat for young fry to shelter and adjust.
