The North Kitsap Herald published a story about Salmon Recovery Funding Board monies for the Suquamish Tribe and Kitsap County:

In late December, the Suquamish Tribe and Kitsap County received good news in the form of two grants from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board to help preserve salmon habitats in the North End.

The grant money, totaling $1.1 million overall, was split between five different projects, including the Suquamish beach seining program, which received $101,315, and the county’s purchase plan for Pilot Point in Hansville to preserve 30 acres and 1,000 feet of shoreline for nearshore habitat, which received $460,000.
