Boat Street Marina project

The Boat Street Marina is owned by the University of Washington. A refurbishment project in 2015 included many elements which directly improved Salmon habitat. These improvements included: significant reduction of over water coverage, shore connecting gangways, and pilings. The new marina exceeded the requirements for the use of light penetrating decking by installing it on all surfaces. Shoreline habitat improvements included reduction of an existing hard shoreline and re-introduction of native plant species.
