| | Shared Strategy for Puget Sound |
 | | The Nooksack Tribe, Whatcom County Conservation District, Stewardship Partners, Clallam Conservation District, Skagit River Cooperative and Drainage District #13 all received funds for projects that provide long-term benefits for both farms and fish, and recognize the need for both agriculture and salmon to prosper if both are to survive. |
 | | The Whatcom Conservation District will use the funding grant to improve water quality, enhance instream and riparian habitat, and improve fish access along California Creek by installing livestock exclusion fencing, removing three culverts, planting native vegetation, and constructing a bridge to replace a degraded stream crossing. |
 | | The Conservation District will use the funds to improve water quality and increase in-stream flows in the Dungeness River by treating contaminated drainage at a site that employs fungus to treat contaminated water, and by converting two open irrigation ditches to buried pipelines. |
