March 6, 2025 — The state of California has announced USD 11 million (EUR 9.5 million) in funding for five salmon restoration projects as part of nearly USD 60 million (EUR 52 million) in grants awarded by the state’s Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB).
The funding for salmon projects is another investment into Governor Gavin Newsom’s California Salmon Strategy for a Hotter, Drier Future, a guide introduced in 2024 to coordinate the state’s efforts to support salmon recovery along the West Coast.
