Senator Murray Statement on Presidential Memorandum Prioritizing Salmon, Fish Restoration in Columbia River Basin
Statement
Issues: Indigenous Peoples Environment
"I'm really glad President Biden and his administration are taking salmon recovery and Tribal treaty rights seriously and working from every angle to restore fish populations in the Columbia River Basin, while meeting the region's resiliency needs. Salmon are absolutely essential for our environment, our economy, and Pacific Northwest Tribes--and ensuring we are making real federal investments in salmon recovery has long been a top priority for me. As Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I'm going to fight for the strongest possible investments to save our salmon."
