The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $2,427,664 Project Grant under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) to the Klamath River Inter-Tribal Fish & Water Commission (KRITFWC). The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, supports the restoration and conservation of Pacific salmon and steelhead populations and their habitats in the Klamath River Basin. Specifically, the funding enables KRITFWC, a tribally owned organization, to conduct scientific and merit-based programs that provide technical assistance, information sharing, policy coordination, and grant administration to member tribes. The goal is to assist tribes in carrying out salmon fisheries and recovery initiatives that demonstrate measurable benefits to anadromous salmonids and their habitat, addressing factors such as water management, land use, fish management, dams, diversions, and harvest.
