Tide's End Multibenefit Restoration Project

The Tide’s End Multibenefit Restoration Project (Project) is being developed to restore and enhance tidal wetland and floodplain habitat, support multibenefit land uses (including managed wetlands and floodplain agriculture), and maintain or improve flood conveyance in the Yolo Bypass. Tidal inundation would be restored by hydrologically connecting the site to the Toe Drain via a series of berm openings, berm lowering, and channel excavation. The restored habitats would enhance aquatic production and export for food web support and would facilitate volitional fish passage of juvenile salmonids and other native fishes accessing the Project area’s floodplain during high-flow events. The Project’s restoration design elements include tidal wetland, transition zone habitat, floodplain habitat, managed wetlands, managed floodplain agriculture, site revegetation (including riparian communities), access improvements, as well as irrigation and drainage improvements.
