Join the April 18 pre-application workshop to learn more about this opportunity

The Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the Puget Sound National Estuary Program and the Stormwater and Habitat strategic initiative leads, are offering salmon recovery planning grants [ [link removed] ] to local governments and tribes. These funds aim to advance the Governor?s statewide salmon recovery strategy [ [link removed] ] and align with the Puget Sound National Estuary Partnership?s investment priorities.

Funding details

Grants are available to cities and counties both fully and partially planning under the Growth Management Act, and federally recognized tribes. We encourage applicants that seek to protect and restore salmon habitat with long-range planning objectives.

Approximately $3.2 million in funding is available, including:


* $2.2 million available to communities statewide
* $1 million available to communities in the Puget Sound

Up to $2 million in additional funding will be provided and administered by the Habitat Strategic Initiative Lead at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). These funds will layer with the Commerce administered grant to promote monitoring and adaptive management practices that will improve implementation, consistency, and effectiveness of permitting for critical areas protection in the Puget Sound. These funds may be requested as part of the joint application.
