THIS AWARD WILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT PROJECTS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN AND PROTECT HEALTHY SALMON POPULATIONS, MONITOR COMMERCIAL AND SPORT FISHERIES, INVESTIGATE AND TAKE ACTION ON THE THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON, AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRODUCTION OF HATCHERY SALMON. THE PURPOSE OF THIS FINANCIAL AWARD IS TO INVEST IN THE HEALTH OF PACIFIC SALMON BY ADDRESSING THREATS TO INLAND, COASTAL, AND MARINE WATERS. HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE POPULATIONS OF PACIFIC SALMON ARE KEY TO THE U.S. COMMERCIAL FISHERIES AND TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOMESTIC SEAFOOD SUPPLY CHAIN. IF THIS ACTION IS NOT APPROVED, THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE, THERE WILL BE A REDUCTION IN FISHERIES-RELATED JOBS, A REDUCTION IN ACCURATE DATA AVAILABLE TO FISHERIES MANAGERS ON WHICH TO MAKE DECISIONS, REDUCED FISHING OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, AND AN ECONOMIC LOSS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS FINANCIAL AWARD WILL GO TOWARDS SUPPORTING THE U.S. SEAFOOD INDUSTRY, FISHERIES JOBS, AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES BY ADDRESSING THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON, MODERNIZING DATA COLLECTION, INCREASING PRODUCTION OF HATCHERY SALMON, AND ACHIEVING EFFICIENCIES THROUGH THE STATE OF WASHINGTONS FISHERIES PROGRAMS. THIS SUPPORT WILL EMPOWER THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO EFFECTIVELY OWN, MANAGE, AND PRIORITIZE FISHERY MANAGEMENT THAT MAKE AMERICAS INFRASTRUCTURE, COMMUNITIES, AND ECONOMY RESILIENT TO GLOBAL THREATS.
