The Lint Slough Restoration project, in partnership with ODFW and OWEB, restored a tidal slough which had been greatly modified in a failed aquaculture enterprise. The council removed dikes and control structures, filled in a diversion ditch, and replaced a public water supply pipeline. The Council has restored natural hydrology and restored several acres to elevations expected to recolonize to native estuarine marsh. Currently, the council is monitoring recolonization by marsh plants.
