US pledges $105 million for salmon recovery on West Coast and Alaska

“This $105 million investment, made possible thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, will build on decades of salmon recovery work while helping Pacific Coast Tribes and Alaska Natives sustain their communities and cultural traditions in the face of climate change,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

“The PCSRF program has benefited fish populations and their habitats in so many ways,” added Janet Coit, Assistant Administrator for NOAA Fisheries.

“The value of these investments goes far beyond recovering Pacific salmon and steelhead and their habitats, to also provide community and economic benefits, such as jobs and climate resilience.”
