Together, the two organizations work to protect and restore Pacific salmon populations in the Washington coast region, which comprises all watersheds that drain directly into the Pacific Ocean between Cape Flattery and Cape Disappointment (3.75 million acres). This work is guided by the Washington Coast Sustainable Salmon Plan (Salmon Plan). The Foundation is responsible for financial management, contracting, fundraising and outreach needed for the Partnership to successfully implement this plan. Foundation staff support both plan implementation and financial, fundraising, and outreach activities.Salmon Plan Implementation: Implementation of the Salmon Plan includes coordinating with local watershed groups on the strategic development and prioritization of habitat restoration projects, which are then proposed for funding through eligible funding sources. Each year, an average of $1.7 million on-the-ground habitat restoration and protection projects are implemented in the region through grants from Washington state's Salmon Recovery Funding Board. For the past three consecutive state biennial budget cycles, the Foundation has played a pivotal role in securing an additional $12 million in habitat project funding through the Washington Coast Restoration and Resiliency Initiative. This effort has involved a broad coalition of local, state, and nonprofit organization representatives who work together to restore coast ecosystems and communities that depend on them. The Foundation continually pursues additional funding opportunities to support implementation of the Salmon Plan. In the past three years, this has included more than $400 thousand in government and private funding sources to support the Coldwater Connection Campaign. This campaign will accelerate restoration work and open up to 150 miles of cold water for salmon and steelhead streams that are blocked by outdated culverts and other mini-dams on the rivers of the Olympia Peninsula.Communication and Outreach: A Communications and Outreach Strategy was developed in 2016 to elevate public awareness of the Salmon Plan. Activities include website development and an e-newsletter to facilitate information exchange among stakeholders. Activities also included the development of an organizational outreach flyer, in-person presentations to community groups,guest features at conferences and newsletters, and field tours for state and federal decision makers.The purpose of these activites is to communicate how the work of the Coast Salmon Partnership contributes to the ecological and economic resiliency of the Washington coast region. In addition to decision makers, the Foundation supported targeted educational programs for youth, the future decision makers in the region.ESA Listed Salmon Species: The Washington coast region is the only salmon recovery region within Washington State that is not dominated by the salmon species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, the Lake Ozette Sockeye Salmon are listed as threatened under ESA. The Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan was developed by the Lake Ozette Sockeye Steering Committee (LOSSC) and finalized by Nathional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 2006. LOSSC dissolved in 2019 and since that time the Partnership, as the regional salmon recovery organization, continues to work with NOAA as well as state agencies and tribal governments on the implementation of the Lake Ozette Sockeye Recovery Plan. Bull trout are under the authority of the United States Fish and WIldlife Service (USFWS). While restoration has not specifically targeted bull trout to date, bull trout critical habitat, as defined by USFWS, includes specific rivers in the Washington Coast Region and work in these rivers is eligible for funding through the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office and USFWS. 409169 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X X X MARA ZIMMERMAN 3605329113 100 SOUTH I STREET SUITE 103 ABERDEEN WA 98520 MARA ZIMMERMAN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 83964 0 6756 PHILIP MILLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE DRIVDAHL Chairman 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHERINE KRUEGER Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK SWARTOUT Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN KLIEM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA LABORDE Vice Chair 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 83964 6756 0 false false false UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PO BOX 1628 FORKS WA 98331 SALMON PLAN 106516 SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & FOREST SCIENCES IMPLEMENTATION COORDINATION 1 387828 446305 834133 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 819 524 295 295 0 834428 295 0 0 0 0 95935 86444 5735 3756 0 114310 90968 23211 131 0 0 16407 13217 2930 260 0 0 17171 4322 12849 0 0 0 1852 465 1383 4 0 4460 2785 786 889 4095 3973 122 0 15600 10868 4160 572 6615 6615 0 659 110 549 0 0 2177 1907 270 2501 2501 CONTRACTED SERVICES 190140 190140 SMALL EQUIPMENT & SOFTWARE 1109 904 205 WEB MEETINGS 773 773 ITEM COST 222 222 49 40 9 474075 409169 46214 18692 157751 522046 0 0 24217 92185 0 0 0 7869 7345 36752 7608 8183 5327 4233 2856 0 0 0 6733 5933 0 237555 637973 23676 43741 20000 23676 63741 X 83879 444232 130000 130000 213879 574232 237555 637973 360353 X false false false X 318861 378759 378628 430244 834133 2340625 0 0 318861 378759 378628 430244 834133 2340625 126374 2214251 15 15 14 44 0 0 2340669 0.94600 0.92140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8183 5327 2856 2856 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The return preparer emails a copy of the final Form 990 to the Foundation's Executive Director, who reviews it for accuracy and clarity.
