FERL and NOAA’s Coastal Services Center (CSC)
have partnered with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe in Port Angeles, WA to
create a multi-dimensional characterization of the Elwha River
watershed, its natural resources, and its original native people. The
products of this collaboration will include a GIS data clearinghouse for
natural resource information related to the proposed removal of two dams
in the river, estuary and nearshore. Socio-economic and cultural
information will be coupled with native fisheries restoration
initiatives including estuary and nearshore mapping in the Elwha River
and Straits of Juan de Fuca.
