For over twenty years, local governments and community group partners in WRIA 8 have collaborated to plan and implement priority salmon habitat and restoration projects, integrate best available science into salmon recovery, monitor salmon populations and habitat conditions, and support salmon recovery outreach and education efforts.  The WRIA 8 salmon recovery team builds and supports collaborative partnerships to implement the WRIA 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan [ https://www.govlink.org/watersheds/8/reports/chinook-plan-update.aspx ], which guides recovery locally and is a watershed chapter of the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan [ https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/document/recovery-plan-puget-sound-chinook-salmon ].
 
The WRIA 8 salmon recovery team is housed in the King County Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD), which is at the forefront of efforts to protect and restore clean water and healthy habitat and strengthen the resilience of communities, environment, and infrastructure in the face climate change. WLRD has a strong track record of developing innovative strategies for protecting working farms and forests, restoring habitat, and ensuring the county residents have equitable access to green space. WLRD plans, designs, and builds flood and stormwater facilities that help to protect people and infrastructure while also enhancing habitat for salmon.  Our Environmental Lab and Science programs maintain high-quality data sets used for long term water quality trend analysis and use Best Available Science to inform decision making.  We house the Land Conservation Initiative, which will preserve our last, most important natural lands and urban green spaces over the next 30 years. Our forestry and agricultural programs help individuals protect their lands and support local food production.  These, and many more programs, make WLRD an exciting and fulfilling place to work.
