Tackling the Climate Challenge

Tackling the Climate Challenge

Salmon need a healthy climate and resilient habitats

Protecting wild salmon depends on a two-pronged approach to climate that stops carbon production and builds resilience in our rivers and watersheds

Like everything else, successful salmon restoration efforts in the Columbia and Snake Rivers depends on a healthy climate. Our strategies must meet the needs of wild salmon and also help tackle the climate challenge we all face together. The law and the science are clear: the federal Columbia Basin hydro-system must make some major changes and share the river with endangered wild salmon and steelhead populations. Fortunately, the Pacific Northwest today has the energy resources and expertise to replace reductions in hydro-system generation in order to protect salmon with affordable, carbon-free energy sources.
