Salmon Disaster 2008

Congress has appropriated the 2008 Salmon Disaster Funds, however the Department of Commerce has not yet released the funds.We anticipate the funds will become available in September.

The criteria for payment has not yet been approved by NOAA Fisheries but we anticipate that will happen in late August or early September.

As soon as any information is available we will post it on our website.

In preparation please contact your department of Fish and Game/Wildlife to make sure your contact and permit information is correct.
