On September 27, 2023, the Biden Administration issued a Presidential Memorandum on restoring salmon and other native fish to the Columbia River Basin. The memorandum states that it is the Biden Administration’s policy to, “work with the Congress and with Tribal Nations, States, local governments, and stakeholders to pursue effective, creative, and durable solutions, informed by Indigenous Knowledge, to restore healthy and abundant salmon, steelhead, and other native fish populations in the Basin.” NSIA and our fellow plaintiffs in the Columbia-Snake litigation have drafted a responsive press release applauding the commitment of the Biden Administration to actively address this critical issue.
