The Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board leads the coordinated implementation of locally-driven salmon recovery and watershed management plans across our region to restore at-risk fish and ensure we have clean water, healthy forests, working farms, and thriving rural and urban communities into the future.
What is the LCFRB?
LCFRB Opens 2020 Salmon Recovery Grant Round!
The LCFRB is now accepting applications for habitat and monitoring projects for submission to the Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board. As the region’s Lead Entity, the LCFRB solicits, reviews, ranks, and approves grant proposals to ensure that salmon salmon recovery projects:
-
Address key priorities of the Recovery Plan and Regional Habitat Strategy;
-
Provide significant benefits for targeted fish populations;
-
Are likely to achieve identified outcomes;
-
Are cost effective; and
-
Are technically sound and well supported.
Grant materials are now available on our Salmon Recovery Grant webpage.
