SRFB-Funded Salmon Habitat Projects Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9

The Salmon Recovery Funding Board awarded $8.9 million during the first seven funding cycles for salmon habitat protection, restoration, and assessment projects in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9). In addition, a "pre-SRFB" round in 1999, three grants totalling $180,000 were awarded.

These grants build on funding sources such as King Conservation District, Waterways 2000, and other local, state and federal funding sources. The map below shows projects funded during the first seven rounds (pre-SRFB grants are not shown). Links will take you to descriptions of each project.
