White Slough Wetlands Enhancement Project
The White Slough Unit (WSU) of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) provides one of the few remaining opportunities to regain lost salt marsh around Humboldt Bay. The WSU includes approximately ten acres of un-diked wetlands, 65 acres of diked wetlands consisting primarily of brackish marsh (60 acres), as well as small areas of freshwater marsh, and riparian habitat. Diked sections are severely eroded and expected to fail. Because the area has subsided, dike failure would result in a conversion of brackish marsh to mudflat, and would expose the Tompkins Hill Road-Highway 101 Interchange, which provides access to the College of the Redwoods, to increased threat of flooding. The threat of dike failure is exacerbated by ongoing sea level rise.
