The Skokomish project is cen- tered on a 108-acre parcel just west of the river's mouth. In ad- dition to the removal of approxi- mately 3,000 feet of diking, sev- eral tide gates and an access road will be removed. Boardwalks now under construction will allow trib- al members access to traditional fish and plant harvesting areas at the river's mouth. The hope is that the restored estuary will flush out sand shrimp that have infested the beaches, clearing the way for clams and oysters that the Skoks can harvest for food or commercial purposes. "Science has to play a role in this," Dicks said. In this vein he pointed to efforts to boost the pop- ulation of wild salmon stocks by means of a selective fishery that separates wild fish from the kind that are produced in hatcheries. "When they caught a wild fish they released it and when they caught a hatchery fish they got to keep it, and that's the way we have to move into the future," he told the gathering. DEMOLITION OF the dikes is the first part of a multi-phase ef- fort to restore more than 300 acres of the estuary to its historic con- ditions, including the restoration of Nalley Island. The Skokomish River is the only river in the Hood Canal basin that directly supports Olympic Peninsula bull trout, Hood Canal summer chum and Puget Sound chinook, all listed as "threatened" under the federal Endangered Species Act. Funding for this phase of the project came from the state of Washington's Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program. Additional support has been provided by the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund, Washington Salmon Recov- ery Funding Board, PUD 1 and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Library support group will meet The Friends of the Hoodsport Library will meet from 1 to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11, at 40 North Schoolhouse Hill Road.
