| Notes | While much of the Salmon River estuary has been restored to approximate its condition before human modification, one outstanding issue remains: Highway 101. For about a mile, the highway intrudes into the estuary. “With only one bridge over the Salmon river, the highway acts a large dike, blocking the distribution of water, nutrients, and sediments.” (p.7) This very interesting project paper describes the work of a group of University of Portland engineering students working with The Nature Conservancy to identify alternatives to improve the present situation. |
