Mid Sound: Green Stormwater Infrastructure
25 Projects for Salmon-Healthy Streams
Mid Sound's Green Stormwater Infrastructure Program
Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group is a small Seattle-based nonprofit engaging people in on-the-ground efforts to local stream and near-shore habitat, so local salmon and communities can thrive. We have been working in King County’s two main watersheds (WRIAs 8 & 9) since 1991. Historically, Mid Sound’s focus has been on the protection and enhancement of salmonid habitat through riparian restoration efforts. In 2021, Mid Sound debuted Salmon Friendly, our Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) incentive program. GSI projects complement Mid Sound’s ongoing restoration efforts by redirecting stormwater back into the landscape, reducing the burden on salmon by addressing issues of flooding and pollution from stormwater runoff.
