The Salmon Recovery Council is composed of local elected officials; concerned citizens; scientists; and representatives from business and environmental interests, water and sewer districts, and federal and state agencies. The Council oversees implementation of a science-based salmon conservation plan in the Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed.
