$1 billion plan to save chinook goes public

P-I STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES

A plan to spend more than $1 billion over the coming decade to save Puget Sound chinook is up for public comment, and the government wants to hear from residents.

A public meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Port of Seattle, 2711 Alaskan Way.

Locally, the strategy outlines efforts to restore and protect damaged wild places on the Cedar, Duwamish and Green rivers, as well as the Lake Washington shoreline. It sets goals for increasing the number of returning fish and identifies the biggest challenges to reaching those goals.

The plan can be found at www.sharedsalmonstrategy.org or at the King County government's Water and Land Resources Division, Suite 600, 201 S. Jackson St., Seattle.

The comment period runs until Feb. 27.
