Salmon Monitoring Program
The Bainbridge Salmon Monitoring Program conducted monitoring for returning spawning adult salmon and instream juvenile salmon every fall from 2005 to 2023. This program is now being coordinated by the City, and you can visit their website to learn more about this ongoing work, and sign up to volunteer!
This citizen science program trains volunteers to observe and collect data on abundance, distribution, and species of salmon that are returning to our Island streams to spawn. This program typically monitors four streams on Bainbridge Island (see figure to right for current monitored streams. Volunteers conduct fish and redd (the nests in which salmon lay their eggs) surveys weekly for a two-month period each fall.
