Along the industrialized Duwamish River in Seattle, the UW Green Futures Lab collaborated with community groups to create modular “biobarges” planted with native species. These floating wetlands filter pollutants, improve water quality, and provide essential habitat for salmon and other wildlife—much like what we are proposing for the Deschutes River and Estuary. The project also integrates community science, giving residents a hands-on role in ecological restoration.
