President Trump abruptly withdrew the federal government from a landmark deal to restore Columbia River Basin fisheries, invest in tribal clean energy projects, and plan for breaching of the four lower Snake River dams. Salmon and steelhead in the basin remain at dangerously low levels, with some populations nearing extinction. The Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement, signed in December 2023, marked a major step toward reversing this decline. The Trump administration’s decision to abandon the agreement a pattern of broken promises, disregard for science, and neglect of our natural heritage. But the fight for Columbia Basin salmon isn’t over. For over 30 years, Earthjustice has represented fishing, environmental, and clean energy groups in legal efforts to protect these rivers. With the agreement now broken, we’re evaluating next steps with our partners—including likely litigation.
