ACTION ALERT: Please contact Senators Wyden and Merkley (OR)!
The plight of endangered Snake River salmon, Southern Resident orcas and Northwest communities is urgent! Salmon and steelhead returns to the Snake-Columbia rivers in recent years are among the lowest on record. And all Snake River populations today are struggling against extinction.
Tragically last year, scientists announced the deaths of four more Southern Resident orcas. This heartbreaking news reduces this critically endangered population to just 72 whales today.
The fates of salmon and orca are intertwined. Orcas rely on large, fatty chinook salmon. These fish are scarce today and orcas are starving to death as a result.
Fortunately, there is still hope - if we act quickly. Biologists tell us that restoring a free-flowing lower Snake will return up to one million more adult chinook salmon to Northwest coastal waters in the winter months when orcas most need them. Removing the lower Snake's four costly dams and replacing their services with alternatives is our best chance to recovery large numbers of salmon that orca - and struggling fishing communities and businesses need.
There are signs of new political leadership emerging in Oregon and across the Northwest. We need your help to support and accelerate it.
Senators Wyden and Merkley must begin work with Oregonians and other Northwest policymakers to develop a plan that protects and recovers endangered Snake River salmon and steelhead populations in order to help feed imperiled Southern Resident orcas and invest in struggling fishing communities across the Northwest.
