This clears the bill to be considered by the full House of Representatives. “I am pleased the House Natural Resources Committee voted in a bipartisan manner to advance my bill,” said Congressman Baumgartner. “This bill, born in collaboration with many of the tribes in Washington that have federally recognized treaty fishing rights, is an important step in the right direction to protect salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest. I look forward to continued bipartisanship as we work to get it signed into law before the end of this Congress.” “Recovering Northwest salmon requires granting tribal and local managers the authority to address pinniped predation as they know best,” said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04). “H.R. 9621 provides greater flexibility to manage pinnipeds in the Columbia River, its tributaries and Washington waters. These local experts understand the ecosystem and need the right tools to support threatened and endangered salmon recovery. I commend Rep. Baumgartner for advancing a science-based solution that empowers regional partners and delivers meaningful results for native fish populations.” Northwest Endangered Salmon Predation Prevention Act of 2026: | 1 | 2026-09-16T09:43:13Z | 2026-09-16T09:44:22Z |
