The Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program represents a 40+ year effort to protect and mitigate for the impacts of the hydropower system on salmon and other fish and wildlife. The Council amends the Fish and Wildlife Program every five years based on recommendations from the region’s tribes, federal and state fish and wildlife agencies, local governments, nonprofits, energy customers, regional utilities, the public, and more. The Council received recommendations through May 19, and comments on those recommendations through July 3. See the amendments page for more details. |
