See a Salmon! Take the survey!

The Chehalis Basin Collaborative for Salmon Habitat developed a new webtool for people to report salmon sightings, and see where others have seen the iconic fish.  The tool is hot of the press and ready to test out – accessible here: https://arcg.is/1958Ci1.  To use it, just take your smart phone, stand by the creek where you see the fish, open a web browser to this address, fill out a few easy questions on the survey, upload a photo from your phone, and then hit “submit.”

This project highlights how close salmon are to people’s everyday lives and encourages landowners to help protect these vital habitats. By gathering community observations, the collaborative hopes to raise awareness of salmon presence throughout the basin and demonstrate the progress of ongoing habitat restoration efforts as rains bring salmon back upstream to spawn.
