Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group
The Kokanee Work Group (KWG) is an ad hoc collaborative group formed in 2007. Its goal is to prevent the extinction and improve the health of the native kokanee population so it is viable, self-sustaining, and eventually supports fishery opportunities.
The KWG draws its members from local and tribal government, nonprofit organizations, local, state, and federal agencies, and residents of the Sammamish watershed.
