In addition, earth occasionally sloughs off of the banks at various points along the length of the channel."Salish Sea Communicationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390794466991625894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879299900980605847.post-23140752507094001422012-02-08T12:01:34.671-08:002012-02-08T12:01:34.671-08:00Correct link is http://threesheetsnw.com/blog/2012...Correct link is http://threesheetsnw.com/blog/2012/02/feds-to-save-swinomish-channel-from-silting-over/ I'll see if anyone knows where the silt's coming from.Salish Sea Communicationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390794466991625894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879299900980605847.post-15893069378566763212012-02-08T11:26:42.389-08:002012-02-08T11:26:42.389-08:00The link to article about dredging Swinomish Sloug...The link to article about dredging Swinomish Slough does not work for me.<br /><br />I still wonder if your sleuthing can come up with an explanation of why the Swinomish Slough silts up. Is it tidal action? Is it the sloughs that drain into it? Did it silt up "in the old days" or is the silting the result of farming or building or diking or ????<br /><br />Maybe the silting could be prevented and thus avoid this endless begging for money to save it by dredging.RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.com
