Speak up for salmon, orcas, and Northwest tribes and communities - Urge Sen. Cantwell to support a comprehensive plan to recover Snake River salmon!
Write Senator Cantwell today! Urge her to acknowledge the science and support a comprehensive solution to restore the lower Snake River and its salmon.
On June 9, 2022, Senator Murray and Governor Inslee released their ‘Draft Lower Snake River Dams Benefits Replacement Report.’ This document makes clear that the dams’ services – energy, irrigation, and barge transportation - can be fully, feasibly, and affordably replaced with reliable, cost-effective alternatives.
The findings from this report lay the foundation for developing a comprehensive solution to restore the lower Snake River and its salmon, help critically endangered orcas, uphold our promises to Tribal Nations, create economic opportunities, and upgrade costly and aging energy, irrigation, and transportation infrastructure.
A new report from NOAA Fisheries Service also confirms what scientists have been saying for years: Northwest salmon will go extinct without a comprehensive plan to remove the lower Snake River dams and replace their services.
It's clear--- removing the four lower Snake River dams is the only remaining viable option to restore our state's rapidly declining salmon populations and stop salmon extinction. The "status quo" has failed-- with $24 billion dollars spent on failed recovery and mitigation efforts, expensive litigation, uncertainty for businesses, and pouring millions of dollars every year into outdated systems.
We need a new comprehensive approach-- to save salmon, invest in updated infrastructure, increase economic opportunities, and move everyone forward together!
ACT TODAY: Write Sen. Cantwell - The draft report confirms the LSR dams’ services can be replaced and we need Sen. Cantwell's leadership alongside Sen. Murray, Gov. Inslee, Tribal Nations, other Pacific Northwest policymakers, and the Biden Administration to develop a comprehensive plan this year to protect salmon from extinction, honor the federal government’s treaties and commitments to tribes, enhance the economy, and invest in a more reliable, affordable, clean and just electric power system.
