Statewide, 14 regional fishery enhancement groups were created by the Washington State Legislature. Seven are within the Salish Sea watersheds. Each group has base funding, administered by WDFW, however each group has a different focus and level of development, based on decisions of local leadership, and how they fit into their local restoration community.
