Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (Annual Appropriations and IIJA Funds)

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) program provides funding for projects that conserve and restore Pacific salmon and steelhead populations, as well as their habitats. The program supports the recovery of these species by funding projects that address factors limiting their productivity, maintain populations necessary for tribal treaty fishing rights or native subsistence fishing, and conserve Pacific coastal salmon and steelhead habitat. Eligible applicants include the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Alaska, as well as federally recognized tribes of the Columbia River and Pacific Coast. • The PCSRF program has three priorities: • Priority One: Projects that address factors limiting the productivity of Pacific anadromous salmonid populations, or maintain populations necessary for tribal treaty fishing rights or native subsistence fishing. • Priority Two: Projects that consist of watershed-scale or larger effectiveness monitoring, population-scale status and trend monitoring, or monitoring necessary for the exercise of tribal-treaty fishing rights or native-subsistence fishing. • Priority Three: All other projects consistent with the referenced statutory authority with demonstrated need for PCSRF funding.
