Discovery Bay Drill and Restoration Project

Discovery Bay restoration:

     The North Olympic Salmon Coalition is restoring a Discovery Bay beach front, transforming the project site into beach habitat. Currently, the site is infested with scotch broom and other invasive species. The purpose of the transformation is to expand the beach, and restore it to natural beach conditions.

     NOSC will also be removing historical trestles from Discovery Bay. The trestles are left over wood pilings from old train tracks. The trestles are coated with creosote, a chemical known to pollute waters and habitats, hence the removal.
