• STEWARDSHIP: NSEA IS A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION AND STRIVES TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SALMON RECOVERY. VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND HELP A SMALL CORE STAFF ACCOMPLISH FAR MORE THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE POSSIBLE. AMERICORPS MEMBERS THROUGH WASHINGTON SERVICE CORPS AND A WASHINGTON CONSERVATION CORPS IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS, LED PROGRAMS, AND WORKED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO SUPPORT HABITAT RESTORATION AND STEWARDSHIP ACTIVITIES. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS ARE CENTRAL TO THE MISSION OF INVOLVING THE COMMUNITY IN SALMON RECOVERY.
