Bolstering Shell Creeks salmon population
The Edmonds Stream Team has made a noteworthy contribution to environmental conservation by releasing 5,000 baby chum salmon into lower Shell Creek. This initiative, which took place on Monday, was made possible through the generous donation of salmon fry from the Suquamish Tribe. The release is part of a broader effort to bolster local salmon populations, which are essential for maintaining the health of the region's ecosystem. Salmon play a vital role in the food chain, and their decline can have far-reaching impacts on biodiversity. By engaging the community in this project, the Stream Team fosters a sense of stewardship and responsibility towards local natural resources.
