NOAA awards Wild Salmon Center for Oregon coastal restoration jobs

According to a University or Oregon study, 80 percent of every dollar invested in restoration projects stays in-county, and 90 percent stays in-state. But the ultimate payoff, Trenholm said, lies in the future: restoring the lifeblood of coastal communities by helping them fish again. "Salmon are an integral part of the culture and ecosystem of the Pacific NW, and we must do all we can to help them survive and thrive," said Rep. Suzanne Bonamici. "Habitat restoration projects like the work being supported by Wild Salmon Center will protect and restore watersheds to confront the climate crisis and help our salmon populations become more resilient. I'm grateful for the leadership of the Wild Salmon Center, and I will continue advocating for funding to support salmon recovery and restore coastal watersheds."
