Riparian Protection

The Coalition is currently asking the state legislature for $100 million for the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) in the capital construction budget.

In 2005, the Legislature added a Riparian Protection account to the WWRP grant program. It acquires and restores fresh and salt water habitat for fish, shorebirds and other species, and helps local governments comply with the Washington State Shoreline Management Act.

The Coalition has secured $18 million for state grants for 23 Riparian Protection projects to date.

Below are lists and a map of proposed and funded WWRP projects.
