..."Meanwhile, a new report from Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s office says salmon continue to struggle in the state, with hydropower dams one of many threats to the fishes’ survival.
Of the 14 types of salmon and steelhead in Washington that are listed as endangered species, only four are making progress toward getting off the endangered species list, according to the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office.
In 30 years, no Washington salmon has successfully swum its way off the endangered list.
Increased investments in salmon habitat, clean water, and a stable climate are needed to help the signature species of the Northwest bounce back, according to the Salmon Recovery Office."
