Salmon Recovery In the Upper Columbia River

Barb Carrillo (right), Education Outreach Coordinator for the Salmon Recovery Board, discussed the purpose of the Salmon Recovery Board.  The goal is to increase spawning salmon in the Columbia River, and restore the population of salmon.  Two Native American tribes and three counties are involved.  The effort creates 1600 jobs and brings in $245 million in local economic activity.  Barb, and Executive Director Melody Kreimes (left), talked about the treats to salmon recovery (fire, sea lions, etc), and what they are doing to improve habitats, spawning grounds, resting areas, and removal of barriers.  Check out more at www.ucsrb.org.
