[2] One of the restoration goals is the reestablishment of regular runs of coho and chum salmon, as well as sea-run coastal cutthroat trout.
Over the years, several groups have worked to improve fish access and vegetative cover.
In addition, The Puget Creek Restoration Society has had a salmon egg incubator installation since 2007.
Since 1987, volunteers have been working to restore these populations and improve the Puget Creek Natural Area.
As a continuation of their efforts, Metro Parks Tacoma's Management Plan is being established to help Metro Parks Tacoma guide the PCRS and other public and private interests and agencies in efforts to restore the Puget Creek Natural Area and raise awareness about the surrounding watershed.
