Loss of Salmon and Steelhead in the Upper Snake River BasinUSRTF- December 2023
Prior to European colonization of the northwestern United States, salmon and steelhead had access to much of the Columbia River Basin from Nevada to Canada with an estimated 10-16 million salmon and steelhead returning annually to the Columbia River Basin. Due to anthropogenic changes, such as overfishing and dam building, the salmon and steelhead runs are a fraction of what they were historically. - USRTF |

Memorandum of agreement between the state of oregon and the burns paiute tribe1.10 The BPT and ODFW have a shared vision of a Malheur Basin reconnected to the greater Columbia Basin, free of impediments to fish passage to support thriving and self-sustaining fish populations.
[...] 1.13 The BPT and ODFW have a shared interest in restoration and agree that eventual reintroduction in the blocked areas is in the best interest of supporting both Parties' shared vision for the Malheur Basin- 2022 MOU |

Loss of Salmon and Steelhead in the Upper Snake River Basin ReportUSRTF, USRT, Parametrix- 2023
Under the 1980 Northwest Power Act, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (the Council) is required to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, that have been affected by the development, operation, and management of hydroelectric projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries. To guide these actions, the Council has developed the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program, which was updated most recently in 2020. The Council determines appropriate mitigation through "loss assessments," which are based on estimates of the productivity of fish and wildlife habitat prior to construction of the dams. - USRTF, USRT, and Parametrix 2023 |
