Project description
Restoring salmon runs to the Edmonds Marsh system has been an active, multifaceted effort by Board President Joe Scordino and VP Diane Buckshnis for over a decade.
The projects required for successful completion include:
- Removing and controlling invasive plant species (including Bittersweet Nightshade and Purple Loosestrife), that impede water flow through the Marsh
- Fully completing the environmental cleanup of Chevron’s Unocal site
- Acquisition of the Unocal property by the City of Edmonds
- Connecting the Marsh to Puget Sound with a clean open channel
