The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is the state leader in providing the science that will make wild salmon recovery a reality. As one of the state's overriding environmental challenges, the job of restoring troubled wild salmon stocks involves every Washington citizen. This web site is intended to provide natural resource managers, local governments, volunteers, educators and other citizens with the information and resources they need to become effective participants in salmon recovery.   Salmonid Recovery Agency Contacts Salmonid Recovery Coordinator:    Sara Laborde (360) 902-2224 Intergovernmental Policy: Staff Director:     Lisa Veneroso (360) 902-2836 Environmental Policy:     Bridget Moran (360) 902-2589 Salmon Policy:     Pat Pattillo (360) 902-2705 Columbia River Policy Coordinator:     Bill Tweit (360) 902-2723 Fish Program: Assistant Director:     Lew Atkins (360) 902-2651 Salmon/Steelhead Division Manager:     Heather Bartlett (360) 902-2662 Resident Trout:     Jim Uehara (360) 902-2738 Chief Fish Scientist:     Jim Scott (360) 902-2736 Salmonid Stock Inventory:     Craig Busack (360) 902-2765 Habitat Program: Assistant Director:     Greg Hueckel (360) 902-2416 Chief Habitat Scientist:     Timothy Quinn (360) 902-2414 WDFW Director:     Jeff Koenings (360) 902-2225 Deputy Directors:     Phil Anderson (360) 902-2720     Joe Stohr (360) 902-2650
