Overview
Description:
The South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group (SPSSEG) is a local voice for regional salmon recovery. From the highest peak in the Cascades, to the fertile shorelines and estuaries of Puget Sound, we restore salmon habitat with willing landowners. We seek out and partner with other organizations to help plan, fund, carry out, and monitor fishery enhancement and habitat restoration projects. We believe that by collaborating with local communities, schools, and individuals in King, Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston and Mason Counties, we can increase salmon numbers in our rivers and streams. Our non-profit non-governmental status helps us to get real results.
Restoration projects can include fish passage and barrier removal, floodplain and wetland reconnection, large woody debris installations, plantings, and more. With many projects combining these into a comprehensive restoration plan.
