What's at risk?
The cap and invest funds collected via the CCA are allocated to legislative entities who work to distribute the monies towards climate mitigation efforts in the State of WA. As a result of the CCA, millions of dollars are allocated towards salmon reovery each year via entities such as the Salmon Recovery Funding Board, Briann Abott Fish Barrier Removal Program, and many more.

How would this impact HCSEG?
The repeal of the CCA would directly impact and reduce the funding that HCSEG receives to conduct salmon restoration projects. HCSEG currently uses CCA funds to restore salmon habitats around the Hood Canal watershed. This includes large-scale restoration work occurring on multiple estuaries, such as the Big Quilcene and Duckabush, as well as other riparian projects on Hood Canal rivers and streams.
This work is essential for the health and future of our salmon ecosystems in Washington State.
