Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group Request for Proposal for Bowman Bay Wetland Reconnection Feasibility Study

/in , , /by

Posted February 4, 2025

The purpose of the Bowman Bay Wetland Reconnection Feasibility Study (Project) is to collect data,
compile resources, and produce a report assessing the feasibility of several alternatives and create a
conceptual design for the preferred alternative for the potential reconnection of a 3-acre wetland
that is adjacent to Bowman Bay. The conservation goal for this project is ultimately to create a tidal
estuary that could provide habitat for juvenile salmon, including endangered Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), as well as improve habitat for forage fish species.

The Project is located at Bowman Bay, within Deception Pass State Park, on the southern end of
Fidalgo Island in Skagit County
