DU and partners complete innovative project on the Oregon Coast

The 107-acre Bay Unit Enhancement Project near Pacific City, Oregon, was recently completed, wrapping up a multi-year effort to improve habitats for wintering dark geese, ducks, and coho salmon on Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR).

The project not only replaced outdated infrastructure with new culverts and tide gates to meet stringent fish passage requirements but also created greater connectivity between the Little Nestucca River, tidal wetlands and the interior channels of the Bay Unit.

Objectives for the Bay Unit project were to produce economic and environmental outcomes for working agricultural lands and provide benefits to wildlife, fish and other aquatic species.
