A new study of Atlantic salmon may have serious implications for Snake River salmon. When fish are stopped by dams, they can deplete the fat they have stored up to use as energy for reproduction.

30 years ago, Snake River sockeye salmon were officially listed as Endangered. Today, extinction is closer than ever. Tell Senator @PattyMurray and @GovernorInslee we need their plan for urgent steps to uphold promises to NW tribes and restore salmon. https://t.co/ia445gdQ1F

We're proud to stand with the Tribes of the Northwest in calling for the removal of the Lower Snake River Dams that kill our salmon and starve our orcas. Join us this FRIDAY for a virtual Salmon Orca Summit to learn more. https://t.co/4DueUNlgos

We welcome @SenCantwell’s leadership on and investment in salmon recovery efforts. It comes at a time when we are facing a crisis in the Columbia River Basin. The science is indisputable: Dam removal is critical to salmon recovery. #SaveOurSalmon

November is National American Indian Heritage Month and the Snake River salmon issue is one of tribal justice. "We need the United States government to comprehend the situation and act.” — Sam Penney, Nez Perce Tribe Chairman

@thecolumbian offers insight and excellent perspective on the salmon crisis in the Columbia River. We agree: we need a viable plan to boost salmon runs before it is too late.

It’s time to chart a more sustainable way forward, for NW tribes and communities—and Columbia River Basin salmon. "Washington residents — on both sides of the Cascades — should not retreat from this discussion out of fear of change.”

Thank you @PattyMurray and @GovInslee for your leadership! We're excited to see the comprehensive solution you create to restore wild salmon, honor commitments made to tribes, and invest in our communities.

[NW Steelheaders @NWSteelheaders]

ACT NOW. Tell @SenMurray and @GovInslee we expect to see an actionable, comprehensive solution in 280 days based on the best available science that follows the leadership of tribes: https://t.co/63UMfwFcfs

[NW Steelheaders @NWSteelheaders]

@GovInslee and Senator @PattyMurray are committed to developing a plan tackling the real threats facing Northwest salmon. TAKE ACTION – let them know we will hold them accountable to delivering a comprehensive solution to restore NW salmon: https://t.co/63UMfwFcfs

@SenJeffMerkley: Our fishing spots are disappearing because the salmon in our #Oregon rivers are disappearing. We need you to act on this issue! #AnglersforClimateAction #VanishingSeasons #RestoreWildlife

[NW Steelheaders @NWSteelheaders]

The #SnakeRiverDams affect #PugetSound and #Seattle too. They kill 30% of #ChinookSalmon and are causing #SouthernResident's to starve to death.

@GovInslee, @PattyMurray, @SenatorCantwell, are you going to let these iconic species go extinct?

#HeatWaves + #drought prompted folks across the #NW to step up + #RallyForTheRiver. @savewildsalmon hit the #SpokaneRiver, calling on @PattyMurray, @SenatorCantwell + @GovInslee to save #WildSalmon and remove the #SnakeRiverDams before we run out of time.

#BREAKING summer #steelhead returns to the #UmpquaRiver are historically low this year. @MyODFW closed the entire river and its tributaries from #angling through November.

Idahoans hit the water to #RallyForTheRiver.

"It’s the final hour for Idaho salmon. Without this, they are facing extinction." - @idconservation.

@SenJeffMerkley + @RonWyden, it's time to remove the #SnakeRiverDams and avoid #WildSalmon extinction.
