Here’s your chance to be heard, as WDFW is looking for your input to shape their priorities for the coming years.
We hope you’ll consider:
- The importance of habitat restoration. Healthy habitats for fish and all wildlife contribute to resilient populations following floods, fires, and droughts.
- Robust habitats provide a buffer against significant impacts to populations.
- Healthy habitat is essential to the recovery of salmon populations and to ensure our state icon persists for future generations.
- Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups, like the Tri-State Steelheaders, are supported by WDFW.
- In return, the 14 RFEGs state wide leverage volunteers, donations, and other funds at a return of $7 for every $1 spent.
- Restoration work creates jobs and supports local economies.
Comments will be accepted at upcoming meetings statewide, by email, and through WDFW’s website.
