| continued from line 28: climate resilience, and river-dependent communities. Specifically, we advanced instream flow requirements within seven regulatory and administrative processes, elevated Tribal beneficial uses of water within these processes, and advocated for more cost-effective use of public funding that impacts instream flows. We also conducted research and advocacy supporting alternatives to new dams for water storage and energy production, while opposing the use of climate funds to build dams that emit methane and harm river ecosystems. To advance our programs, we educated thousands of people and provided strategic leadership training to dozens of stakeholders. Our efforts protected instream flows in critical salmon rivers and streams and prevented projects that would have reduced instream flows for endangered salmon. |
