The Salmon Friendly Lakes Program seeks to inspire behavior change among lakeshore residents through education and outreach opportunities, free technical assistance site visits, as well as impact-reduction and restoration guidance.
This program is also a part of the Lake Sammamish Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) Abatement efforts being led by King Conservation District, which are intended to better understand, and reduce the impacts of artificial light on salmon in Lake Sammamish.
