Our Mission

“The mission of the Lower Columbia Fish Enhancement Group is to promote recovery of self-sustaining, naturally spawning salmonid populations and healthy aquatic ecosystems. We do this by restoring river and stream habitat, providing nutrients for juvenile fish growth, and engaging the community in hands-on salmon stewardship and education.”
