Culvert Removal

Poorly designed and maintained road culverts in South Puget Sound block salmon from accessing miles of their historical spawning habitat. Old culverts were designed without the needs of fish in mind. These undersized, improperly graded and aligned culverts severely impair fish passage in many South Puget Sound streams.
