Did you know that what you do on the lakeshore can make a big difference for salmon? From shoreline landscaping to surprising new pollutants, small changes can help baby salmon survive their journey to the Puget Sound.
Learn how you can make a positive impact — whether you live on a lake or just care about keeping our waters healthy — through our two part webinar.
Why Salmon Friendly Lakes?
Webinars: Online Workshops in Two Parts
Part One: Healthy Lakes for All
In this 15-minute webinar, we explore the history of water pollution in Lake Washington and how changes we’ve made in the past help us make decisions for protecting urban lakes today. We’ll look at different ways we can use beneficial landscaping to keep out geese and minimize weeds, protect shorelines from erosion, and provide cool shade for baby salmon to forage and rest on their journey to the Puget Sound. We’ll highlight shoreline options that increase safe access to the water for all-ages, while helping baby salmon stay safe from invasive predator fish.
Part Two: Easy as Flipping a Light Switch!
Each year, fewer baby salmon survive the journey from the lakes to the Puget Sound. With dwindling populations, we can help reduce death rates by turning our lights off at night. This simple action will help increase survival rates. Curious why this is? We’ll dive into the how Artificial Light at Night impacts salmon, and provide steps to eliminate light from your home from entering into the water at night.
