NOAA Fisheries releases their annual Ecosystem Status Reports including a new report card for the northern Bering Sea which shares some promising news about sea ice conditions
NOAA’s Veterans Corps partnerships are building on more than a decade of growth, supporting habitat and fisheries restoration projects on the West Coast.
New streamlined method allows scientists to vastly increase the number of samples they can analyze at a time, gaining insights into fish population health—information critical for fisheries management.
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.
Forty-six projects will reopen migratory pathways, restore access to healthy habitat for fish, and build tribal capacity to develop and implement fish passage projects.
With $4.3 million in NOAA funds, the Copper River Watershed Project and The Eyak Corporation will remove fish passage barriers, opening more streams for salmon spawning and subsistence fishing.
