Investing in habitat restoration and protection to bring back Puget Sound's natural systems-for salmon, people and community.
The Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration (PSAR) program was created in 2007 to help implement the most important habitat protection and restoration projects for Puget Sound. Funding is appropriated every two years by the Washington State Legislature and allocated through the Salmon Recovery Funding Board. The program has two parts, with $30 million provided as base funding for locally significant projects (regular round) and remaining funds allocated to projects that are ranked as regionally significant (large capital round).
