Dungeness River
Innovative partnership saves salmon in the Dungeness
Washington Water Trust partnered with farmers and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to support fish migration during drought in the Dungeness last summer. An innovative private and public funding combination led by Amazon and the Washington State Department of Ecology made this critical drought program possible.

Boosting flows for fish at a critical time
Most of Washington is experiencing drought conditions in summer 2024. Record-breaking heat melted our mountain snowpack almost 50 days earlier than normal. Conditions in the Dungeness Valley are predicted to be the second driest since 1949. Thanks to our partners and supporters, WWT is boosting flows for fish at a critical time.
