A coalition of fishing, environmental, and renewable energy groups reached an agreement with the Biden Administration, Oregon, Washington, and the Nez Perce, Yakama, Warm Springs, and Umatilla Tribes in December 2023. The agreement acknowledges that scientific findings confirm that lower Snake River dam removal is necessary to restore abundant salmon and steelhead stocks in the Columbia Basin, and the Administration commits to a package of federal actions to prioritize salmon recovery. We must therefore build on the momentum towards bringing the Snake River dams down, and to ensure that the federal government keeps its promises about salmon, steelhead, and Tribal rights. We flew many Snake River overflights this summer and fall, and will continue to do so as this issue becomes more urgent.
