Today, we launched a national program to fix and replace culverts currently obstructing fish passages and leaving roads vulnerable to flooding. This will bring environmental and economic benefits here in the Pacific Northwest and across America.
1/ This new program will provide $1 billion over five years to help communities nationwide modernize culverts on local roads, railways, and other transportation infrastructure that currently block fish from vital spawning grounds. https://t.co/95BBHMCzID
