Abstract:

This project will restore and protect fish habitat at two state park units that continue to be adversely impacted by human activities, including recreational access. The two park units, Funny River and Morgan’s Landing are within the Kenai River Special Management Area and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill area of impact. Restoration work will include bioengineered systems consistent with techniques proven successful on the Kenai River. The protection component will include elevated, light-penetrating (ELP) walkways and river access stairs to allow foot traffic to travel above sensitive riverbank and prevent impacting riparian resources. This project will benefit the injured resources Dolly Varden, Pink Salmon, and Sockeye Salmon and the injured services Recreation and Tourism.
