On the Columbia River, hydropower facilities provide challenges for the Columbia River salmon and steelhead stocks to access habitat and migrate to the ocean. In addition, some areas are completely blocked to salmon and steelhead by hydropower and other dam projects. This work group is looking at recommendations to address these challenges. A roster of work group members is here. The group meets every six weeks via Zoom Webinar.
Upcoming Meeting
Both the Blocked Areas subgroup and the Hydropower subgroup are currently paused.
Please contact Angela Hessenius (ahessenius@kearnswest.com) if you are interested in observing other future meetings.
