See why a comprehensive culvert approach makes sense

Contact: Carl Schroeder, Shannon McClelland

Although the state is under a federal injunction to fix state-owned fish-blocking culverts, fixing only those culverts will make the state’s investment incomplete at best and ineffective at worst. Why? Because, on average, there are two downstream and five upstream culverts associated with each state barrier. By only fixing a state culvert that is sandwiched between other barriers, the state’s investment does not achieve the goal of fish recovery.

Check out AWC’s new data story to see why a comprehensive approach to culvert corrections is essential to achieving salmon recovery. Then contact your legislators to voice your support.
