The programs ultimate objective is to provide efficient and meticulous administration of the 2024 pcsrf funds for the critfc tribes so that tribal projects related to salmon habitat restoration, salmon stock enhancement, salmon research, and supplementation activities can be implemented and monitored in a timely manner. These projects will be consistent with the overall 2024 pcsrf program priorities of implementing projects that provide demonstrable and measurable benefits to pacific anadromous salmonids (chinook, coho, chum, sockeye, and pink salmon and steelhead) and their habitat. The proposed projects will contribute to the increase in chinook stocks through the restoration and protection of habitat in areas where they live, which will then ultimately benefit the southern resident killer whale survival levels by improving its prey base. The proposed projects will benefit salmon populations important to the exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights and will include efforts to restore or maintain such populations while limiting factors are being addressed.
