President Joe Biden has directed federal agencies to use all available authorities and resources to restore “healthy and abundant” salmon runs in the Columbia River Basin, a move that conservationists and tribes call a potential breakthrough

In a move that conservationists and tribes called a potential breakthrough, President Joe Biden has directed federal agencies to use all available authorities and resources to restore “healthy and abundant” salmon runs in the Columbia River Basin.
“It is time for a sustained national effort to restore healthy and abundant native fish populations in the Basin,″ Biden’s order said. Achieving healthy and abundant salmon runs “is a much higher bar than merely avoiding extinction,'' Goodin said in an interview. Kurt Miller, executive director of Northwest RiverPartners, which represents community-owned electric utilities in seven western states, said breaching the dams requires approval from Congress and would cost tens of billions of dollars and cause rate increases of 25% to 65% for 4 million public power customers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and other states.
Murray, the longest-serving senator in the Northwest, said the White House memo shows Biden is serious about salmon recovery and tribal treaty rights “while meeting the region’s resiliency needs.″
