SACRAMENTO – In just the last week, California approved seven new salmon restoration projects in the Central Valley, marked significant progress in bringing salmon back to the Klamath River, and celebrated the completion of a major fish passageway along the Sacramento River. It’s all proof that the California Salmon Strategy for a Hotter, Drier Future — combined with its Healthy Rivers and Landscapes program — is paying dividends nearly two years since Governor Gavin Newsom first announced the plan.
Salmon are profoundly important to California. They provide important commercial, recreational, economic, intrinsic and cultural benefits to fishing communities, California Native American tribes, and the entire state. California’s salmon populations are struggling to recover from years of drought, climate disruption, and other environmental and human-made challenges. California is taking significant and meaningful steps to rebuild salmon stocks across California.
Earlier this year, the state released the California Salmon Strategy for a Hotter, Drier Future: Progress Report, an update to the original strategy. The progress report shows that of the 71 action items outlined in the Salmon Strategy, nearly 70% are underway, with another 26% already completed. These actions provide tangible benefits for California’s salmon populations and habitats now and into the future.
Even as some salmon populations begin to rebound in the state, salmon fisheries continue to face significant climate-related challenges. California’s commercial salmon fisheries have been closed for three years, and recreational salmon fishing just started to open this year for limited opportunities.
