North Kitsap Puget Sound Anglers (NKPSA) will restore Salmon through outreach, restoration, and research.

Some of the Earth's greatest resources are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. We aim to improve and create Salmon runs, but we cannot achieve our goals alone. You can join us in creating this Legacy.

Since 2016, we have led the effort to grow and release Chum Salmon fry into Hood Canal.  We do this by installing RSI egg boxes restoring Salmon in North Kitsap creeks and streams to attain sustainability. We have started the journey to create a Legacy for the future of Salmon.

 NKPSA Mission
