ESTUARY RESTORATION IN KITSAP COUNTY Plant Recovery and Soil Development within Four Estuary Restoration Projects April 24 at 6 p.m. Olympic College- Poulsbo Vegetation and soil play an important role in the health of an estuary’s ecosystem. Culverts, bridges and other physical barriers reduce the inflow of water and the exchange of sediment and isolate what should be connected habitats. What happens when the barriers are removed? A recent research project monitored the restoration of four estuary sites in Western Washington and tested the hypothesis that recovery of a restored area continues over a significant period of time. Find out more about this important restoration work, what was studied, what was learned, and how the results can assist in planning for the restoration of other estuary environments. PRESENTED by: Dr. Jenise Bauman is an assistant professor of environmental science at Western Washington University on the Peninsulas. Her research couples methods of planting with molecular techniques to better understand how native plant seedlings can be established in disturbed soils with the greatest chance of success. Co-sponsored by Kitsap County Washington State University Extension and Sea Grant Washington
