The delta was relied upon to provide sustenance and the food sources were abundant enough for 14 permanent villages and a seasonal economy. Salmon was caught via a variety of techniques and the people were able to hunt a diverse array of wildlife, including various species of waterfowl, game, and sea mammals. The grass and woodlands in the area were used to gather seasonal fruits such as berries, grow crops such as

that the port would be a catastrophic detriment to the already decimated valley and proposals, quickly adopted, were outlined to repair the
Nisqually basin. Protections of the estuaries, upstream habitats, and Nisqually tribal right were emphasized and no port would be built. Further studies called for the land to be protected under a federal wildlife refuge, though proposals allowed for continued farming of the valley and upstream logging but with more stringent rules.

Nisqually valley were purchased and added to the refuge as a buffer against encroaching residential growth. Tidelands began to be restored, starting in 1996, and culminating in 2009 with hundreds of acres of habitat, including the revival of 50% of salt marsh areas, restored. Large dikes were removed, and additional protections were taken on upstream rivers, lands, and valleys.

State legislation enacted early attempts at restoration of the watershed in the mid-1980s, creating the

In the 1830s, a fort was built near the

In 1904 the Brown Farm Dike, five miles long, was created to protect farmland from tidal surge, resulting in a loss of important habitat for young fish, birds and marine mammals such as harbor seals. As part of a long running project to restore the estuary, in 2009, a new 10,000 foot dike was
