With $9.5 million in NOAA funds, the Nooksack and Lummi tribes are restoring habitat for Spring Chinook using engineered log jams to recreate healthy river processes.
With $710,000 in funding from NOAA, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde will remove barriers to the passage of threatened salmon and trout species on their land.
With the dams on the lower Klamath scheduled for complete removal by September, salmon will reenter 420 miles of habitat for the first time in a century. NOAA recommends $20 million in funding for additional river restoration.
Salmon have successfully reproduced at the Finn Rock restoration site in Oregon’s McKenzie River watershed. Another project aims to bring salmon back to lower Quartz Creek.
