Wyden said, \u201cWe have much work to do, but these actions will help build on the past successful projects such as restoring spawning grounds, establishing a Salmon Superhighway, and easing stress on migration routes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merkley said, \u201cThe health of communities across Oregon goes hand-in-hand with the health of our state\u2019s waterways, fish habitats and infrastructure\u201d. Merkley said, \u201cThese federal investments will support initiatives to help strengthen natural infrastructure and reconnect fish habitats and migration routes \u2013 initiatives critical to boosting salmon recovery efforts and investing in the long-term viability of Oregon\u2019s coastal communities\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release said additional funding is allocated to research projects that will benefit salmon populations and recovery efforts. These investments by NOAA from the Inflation Reduction Act amount to a total investment of $42 million nationally to address issues with salmon populations and restoration programs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KQEN On Thursday, Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley announced an investment of $27 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to help support recovery efforts for Pacific salmon populations.
