National Day of Action: Ask the Biden Administration today to stop salmon extinction!
Right now, the Biden Administration is exploring durable science-based solutions for protecting endangered salmon and steelhead in the Snake/Columbia rivers. Last October the administration joined the Nez Perce Tribe, State of Oregon, and conservation/fishing plaintiffs to pause 20+ years of litigation and begin discussions to develop a long-term plan to protect fish facing extinction today. The deadline for these talks is rapidly approaching: July 31, 2022. We have an unprecedented opportunity today to save salmon, protect orca - and restore the Snake River.
Just a few weeks ago, the administration's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) published a blogpost reflecting on its recent conversations with Northwest Tribes. You can read it here: Columbia River Basin Fisheries here - Working Together to Develop a Path Forward.
The blogpost demonstrates the administration's appreciation of the importance of salmon in tribal and non-tribal communities in the Northwest. It acknowledges the devastating declines of salmon in the Columbia Basin and across the region and its impacts on people and other fish and wildlife populations, including orcas. The blogpost recognizes we must act quickly, boldly, and comprehensively to reverse these losses and begin to restore salmon abundance and heal communities.
This year, the Northwest and the nation must decide, develop and deliver a comprehensive regional plan to restore the lower Snake River and invest in its communities. Time is running out. Snake River salmon and steelhead - and their irreplaceable benefits - are at risk of disappearing forever. All four populations face extinction today and their numbers are dwindling fast. The science is clear: removing the lower Snake River dams must be the cornerstone of any effective strategy.
Please use your voice to stand up for wild salmon and the Snake River. Write CEQ Chair Brenda Mallory: thank her for her leadership and ask her for bold action this year by advancing a comprehensive plan to restore the Snake River and its imperiled fish.
