Gorst Creek is a salmon-bearing stream in the city of Bremerton in Kitsap County. The creek has lost a lot of its quality spawning habitat, and is listed on the state’s list of streams with impaired water quality.
The project’s goals were to:
- create habitat
- cool the water by creating deeper pools, and planting trees to create shade
- clean the water by reducing erosion and adding vegetation to better rainwater before entering the stream.
