Salmon-Safe’s developer accreditation is the nation’s first independent accreditation program to recognize developer excellence in water quality protection at a firm-wide level.

Salmon-Safe accreditation recognizes environmentally innovative developers who commit to implementing Salmon-Safe principles around onsite stormwater treatment and other core standards where feasible, even if not all of the sites they are constructing will necessarily be eligible for Salmon-Safe certification.
