Receive assistance and funding for restoration of your waterfront property to enhance fish habitat.

Nearshore areas (beaches, bluffs, estuaries and tidal areas of the Puget Sound) are linked to early life stage success for juvenile salmon growing strong before heading to the open ocean. Nearshore habitats nurture the food web in estuaries and offshore, providing sustenance for adult salmon and other wildlife in the Sound.

We restore habitat in close partnership with others. We work with private and public landowners, community volunteers, construction contractors, engineers, tribes, nonprofits, and state and local funding organizations to design and construct a variety of projects. Some of them include: removing barriers so fish can freely pass up and downstream; planting native trees and shrubs to cool streams, clean water, and provide wood for a healthy stream; softening or pulling out bulkheads on beaches to increase the amount of plants and small fish young salmon need; adding instream wood for better habitat and reduced erosion.
