New Blog Helps Promote Green Shorelines
To promote more salmon-friendly shorelines around Lakes Washington and Sammamish, WRIA 8 has started a Green Shorelines Blog. The blog is aimed at local people working on green shorelines. It provides a platform for sharing case studies of shoreline projects, updates on policies and technical issues, and information to use to communicate about improving salmon habitat along the shoreline.
