Washington state to increase

In an effort to help
imperiled salmon, Wash-
ington state offi cials are
proposing more water be
spilled at dams during fi sh
migration. The hope is that
this would also increase the
amount of food for orcas in
Puget Sound.
Last year, state, federal
and tribal offi cials came up
with a plan to spill more
water over the tops of dams
during the spring. That
would help young salmon
migrating out to sea. At the
same time, these fl exible
plans would keep hydro-
power costs low.
Washington’s new pro-
posal would bring the
state’s regulations in line
with those plans. The
state’s plan would last for
three years so that offi cials
can test the effectiveness of
the increased spill.
“As always, science is
our guide and we need to

gered salmon and steelhead

been inadequate,” Bogaard
said. “Increased spill is
probably our best tactic to
increase salmon survival in
the near term. It won’t be
enough over time, but it’s
certainly a step in the right
direction.”
Long term, Bogaard
said, the best way to ensure
wild salmon survival is
to remove the four l ower

other fi sh,” said Maia Bel-
lon, director of the state
Department of Ecology, in
a statement. “We want to
be intentional and informed
about any actions that sig-
nifi cantly alter this com-
plex ecosystem.”
Increased spill is import-
ant to help salmon survive,
said Joseph Bogaard, with
