THE WILD SALMON CENTER WILL BE AWARDED UP TO $5,972,052 FOR FIVE PROJECTS THAT WILL RESTORE ACCESS FOR NATIVE MIGRATORY SPECIES AND RESTORE THE RESILIENCE OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AT 10 ROAD CROSSINGS. THE PROJECTS WILL RESTORE ACCESS TO 8.6 MILES OF HISTORICAL STREAM HABITATS AND 22.95 ACRES OF CRITICAL WETLAND HABITATS TO PROMOTE THE RECOVERY OF COHO SALMON ACROSS FOUR OREGON COAST WATERSHEDS: THE COOS, SILETZ, NESTUCCA, AND NEHALEM. ALL FIVE PROJECTS WILL IMPROVE COHO SALMON PASSAGE AND PRODUCTIVITY IN ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT. COHO SALMON ARE A POPULAR SPORT FISH, AND REBOUNDING NUMBERS HAVE LED TO OPEN FISHERIES FOR WILD FISH, NOT JUST HATCHERY FISH. PROJECTS ADVANCE SOCIOECONOMIC GOALS FOR TRIBES AND RURAL COASTAL COMMUNITIES. THIS WORK IS BEING FUNDED BY THE COMMUNITY-BASED RESTORATION PROGRAM.
