CRITFC report reviews historic Fish Accords
This year marks the Ten Year
Anniversary of the signing of the
Columbia Basin fish Accords.
It was on 2008 the War m
Springs, Yakama and Umatilla
tribes, and the Columbia River In-
ter-Tribal Fish Commission signed
the Accords.
On behalf of the federal gov-
ernment were the Bonneville
Power Administration, Ar my
Corps of Engineers, and Bureau
of Reclamation. CRITFC explains
the significance of the Accords:
The partnership they forged ush-
ered in a new era of regional salmon
restoration and financial predict-
ability.
The Accords provided secure fund-
ing for long-term habitat restoration
and fish survival and passage improve-

These projects furthered the tribes’
Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit vi-

salmon populations for future gen-
erations.
The increase and security in stable
power generation during which the
tribes agreed to not litigate for ad-
ditional fish protection at the dams
or
the breaching of the Snake River
dams.
By working together, the parties
shifted their relationships from
adversarial to one based on negotia-
tion and collaboration and the re-
gion and salmon benefited as a re-
sult.

sin Fish Accords. This detailed re-
port gives a thorough overview of
the tribal projects and results of the

“Forty percent of the Warm
Springs, Yakama, Umatilla and
CRITFC Accords funding went to
watershed restoration efforts. Over
the course of the last decade, they
completed 14,586 in-stream ac-
tions and 404 out-of-stream ac-
