The Problem

We want to help preserve and restore habitat for endangered Pacific salmon. Issues like stormwater runoff and habitat destruction are threatening the health of these salmon. They are the keystone species, and there are only around 200 living in Swan Creek.

Our Plan

We are going to start doing water quality monitoring at Swan Creek for more insights as to what issues these salmon face. We will find the sources of pollution and create a plan to help filter the water pollution.
