Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group engages people in active stewardship of local streams, rivers, and shorelines throughout the central Puget Sound region.Community support gives salmon a chance to thrive in our streams and shorelines now and in the future.
When you give to Mid Sound, you power hands-on educational opportunities for salmon stewards of all ages and earth-moving projects that restore healthy salmon habitat in partnership with local communities. Your donation right now during Give Big will support:
+ Salmon in Schools
Elementary schools in White Center, Des Moines, Kent, and Auburn watch salmon transform -- right in the classroom! -- from egg, to alevin, to fry before releasing them into a nearby stream so they can journey to the ocean. Our incredible and inspiring education and outreach staff deliver engaging lessons and support classroom teachers in keeping the salmon learning going between visits.
+ Student Stewards
Middle and high school students engage in hands-on learning about salmon habitat restoration, removing invasive vegetation and planting native trees and bushes along stream banks. Field work is connected to classroom learning about topics such as soil health, erosion, water quality, stream complexity, land use, and green jobs.
+ Creation of more salmon friendly beaches
We work with landowners to remove unnecessary bulkheads (hard shoreline armoring). When we reconnect nearshore land and water, we can restore natural ecosystem processes like leaves, insects, and big wood falling into the water to provide food and shelter for migrating salmon. Bulkhead removal also creates easier access to beaches for people, enhances the natural beauty of shoreline properties, and creates resilience to climate change impacts.
+ And more
Reach out if you would like to learn more! We love to talk about salmon.
Thank you to everyone who makes a donation of any size. Your support is immeasurably powerful; we could not do this work without you.
Engaging people in on-the-ground efforts to restore local stream and shoreline habitat, so local salmon and communities can thrive.
Mid Sound needs community members who are passionate about salmon recovery and good stewards of their local streams, creeks, and shorelines.
Your interest in watershed health and salmon recovery, your time and labor at habitat restoration events, your financial donations, your encouraging words, and your referrals all matter -- without the care and support of watershed residents like you, salmon cannot thrive.
FINANCIAL NEEDS: Your financial contribution will support salmon-centered community-building events and estuary and freshwater restoration projects in Kitsap County.
REFERRAL NEEDS: Your referral to a private landowner who is excited to restore salmon habitat on their property helps us connect with interested community partners.
VOLUNTEER NEEDS: Your volunteer time will help us continue to build a strong and vibrant network of people just like you -- people who care about salmon and their communities.
Please reach out if you would like to give in a way that doesn't fit into the features of this website. We would love to hear from you!
