$2.3 million awarded for fish restoration work
). The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration has
finalized a $2.34 million grant
-to the Columbia Basin treaty
;tribes under the federal Pacific
Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund
for regional fish-restoration
projects.
r NOAA Fisheries administers
the program initiated in 2000 by
'states, tribes and Congress to
vhelp conduct local conservation
rand restoration efforts.
NOAA retroactively granted
the award for the October 2003
September 2004 fiscal year.
The program is critical to
tribal and state efforts, in con
junction with local governments,
watershed councils and federal
agencies, to implement habitat
conservation and restoration
projects, supplementation pro
grams, research and monitor
ing. A science team comprising
members of the Warm Springs,
Yakama, Umatilla and Nez
Perce tribes' technical staff will
review 30 new projects proposed
under the fund.
The Columbia River Inter
Tribal Fish Commission, which
coordinates the award, will se
lect approved projects by late
fall based on project criteria and
performance standards estab
lished by the states and tribes.
CRITFC and its member
tribes have launched nearly 100
salmon- and habitat-restoration
projects funded by this program,
with nearly half of them com
pleted. The Columbia River treaty
tribes, along with other partici
pating tribes and states, strongly
support the Administration's and
the regional Congressional
delegation's efforts to increase
funding for this program.
