This book was released on 2002 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead populations were once the world's largest. Before 1550, an estimated 16 million salmon and steelhead returned to the basin annually to spawn. Over the past 25 years, however, the number of salmon and steelhead returning to the Columbia River Basin has averaged around 660,000 per year, although annual population levels have varied widely. Various factors have contributed to the long-term decline including over-harvesting, the construction and operation of dams, the degradation of spawning habitat, increased human population, and unfavorable weather and ocean conditions. The population decline has resulted in the listing of 12 salmon and steelhead populations in the basin as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Once a species is listed as threatened or endangered, the ESA requires that efforts be taken to allow the species to recover. The Department of Commerce's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is the lead agency responsible for the recovery of the threatened or endangered populations of Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead. The recovery of a species entails the development and implementation of a plan for the species' conservation and survival. The ESA also requires other federal agencies to consult with NMFS before they take any action that may jeopardize the continued existence of listed salmon or steelhead populations in the Columbia River Basin. You asked us to (1) identify the roles and responsibilities of the federal agencies involved with the recovery of Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead, (2) determine how much they have spent collectively on recovery efforts, and (3) determine what recovery actions they have undertaken and what they have accomplished.

Download or read book Managing the Columbia River written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-07-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flows of the Columbia River, although modified substantially during the twentieth century, still vary considerably between seasons and between years. Lowest flows tend to occur during summer months when demand for irrigation water is at its highest and when water temperatures are greatest. These periods of low flows, high demand, and high temperature are critical periods for juvenile salmon migrating downstream through the Columbia River hydropower system. Although impacts on salmon of any individual water withdrawal may be small, the cumulative effects of numerous withdrawals will affect Columbia River flows and would pose increased risks to salmon survival. The body of scientific knowledge explaining salmon migratory behavior and physiology is substantial, but imperfect, and decision makers should acknowledge this and be willing to take action in the face of uncertainties. In order to provide a more comprehensive water permitting process, the State of Washington, Canada, other basin states, and tribal groups should establish a basin-wide forum to consider future water withdrawal application permits. If the State of Washington issues additional permits for water withdrawals from the Columbia River, those permits should contain provisions that allow withdrawals to be curtailed during critical high-demand periods.

Book excerpt: The Fish Passage Center (FPC) provides technical assistance and information to fish and wildlife agencies and tribe on the passage of juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead through the mainstream Columbia River. It is an element of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's fish and wildlife program, which was created by the Northwest Power Act (P.L. 96-501). The Council's fish and wildlife program is funded by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) with revenue from the sale of electric power in the Pacific Northwest. Some parties in the region contend that the FPC does not provide unbiased scientific analysis, but instead advocates specific policy positions. Senate and conference committee reports (S. Rept. 109-84 and H. Rept. 109-275) on the 2006 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act (P.L. 109-103) instructed BPA to cease funding the FPC and transfer the FPC's functions to other existing entities, and BPA responded by determining that it would transfer the FPC functions to two entities. A number of organizations sued to block transfer of the FPC's functions, and on January 24, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit the court ruled that BPA's decision to transfer the FPC's functions violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
