Who else helps to recover salmon and steelhead?
Recovery depends on all individuals and entities whose actions have the potential to both harm and conserve salmon, steelhead, and the ecosystems upon which they depend. There is no silver bullet. All sectors, including fish harvesters, land and water users, hatchery program managers, and others will need to do their part for recovery to occur. NOAA Fisheries Service is responsible for ensuring that recovery plans are developed and implemented. However, in many cases, we do not have the authority to undertake many of the actions needed. Other federal agencies, state, local, and tribal governments, local subbasin and watershed planning groups, and individual land and water users need to direct their efforts toward helping recovery in a coordinated manner.
