Streams
Streams are the life blood of island ecosystems and a major focus of our work. Our sole source aquifer feeds our streams and is our only source of clean fresh water so it is crucial that we steward our watersheds well.
SalmonWatchers
From September to January of each year, the salmon come home! Our SalmonWatcher volunteers, trained in salmon identification and monitoring protocols, regularly visit a specific spot on a local creek to record returning salmon. SalmonWatchers also help collect DNA from fish carcasses to help build a Salish Sea wide library of salmon genetic diversity and to record the types of salmon that call our streams home.
Salmonwatch volunteers can access all protocols and paperwork through the volunteer portal.
