"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is recommending sending
$106 million to 16 salmon and steelhead recovery efforts in five Western
states, the federal agency said Thursday.
NOAA and the Department of Commerce recommended grants to state agencies with
salmon protection missions, tribes and tribal partnerships in Alaska, Idaho,
Oregon, Washington and California.
The funding “provides an important opportunity to bolster salmon and steelhead
recovery and invest in the communities that rely on them,” U.S. Commerce
Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
NOAA is an agency within the Commerce Department. The recommendations must be
approved by the NOAA Grants Management Division and Department of Commerce
Financial Assistance Law Division before they are considered final.
The grant recommendations received a funding boost this year from the
bipartisan infrastructure law enacted in 2021, which provided $34.4 million,
and Democrats’ climate, social policy and tax law that President Joe Biden
signed one year ago Wednesday, which provided an additional $7.5 million.
The remaining $64 million comes from annual congressional appropriations to the
Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund, a NOAA Fisheries program, according to
NOAA spokesman Matthew Burks."
