In 1999, the Washington State Legislature
created the Salmon Recovery Funding Board. The Board provides
grant funds to protect or restore salmon habitat and assist
related activities (see SRFB grant
programs). It works closely with local watershed groups
known as lead entities.
SRFB has helped finance over 900 projects. All meetings
are open to the public.
Composed of five citizens appointed
by the Governor and five state agency directors, the Board
brings together the experiences and viewpoints of citizens
and the major state natural resource agencies.
Mission Statement:
The Salmon Recovery Funding Board supports salmon recovery
by funding habitat protection and restoration projects.
It also supports related programs and activities that
produce sustainable and measurable benefits for fish and
their habitat.
