On March 29, 2019, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) released the results of the 2018 review of NOAA’s fish passage activities. An independent, external review panel evaluated the effectiveness of 10 years of NOAA’s fish passage activities to protect and increase access to historic riverine rearing and spawning habitat for migrating fish species. In response, NOAA outlined priority actions to address the panel’s key recommendations that will build off of the program’s past achievements.
