Reason for Participating on the Skagit Watershed Council
A consistent, technically defensible restoration strategy for salmon habitat within the Skagit River Watershed that is adopted by all participants of the Watershed Council. A public outreach program to inform the citizens of Skagit County about the status of fish and fish habitat within the County, and mechanisms and biological requirements for protecting and improving habitat.
