Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund

Congress established the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) to contribute to the restoration and conservation of Pacific salmon and steelhead populations and their habitats. The states of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Alaska, and the Pacific Coastal and Columbia River tribes receive Congressional PCSRF appropriations from NOAA Fisheries Service each year. The fund supplements existing state, tribal and local programs to foster development of federal-state-tribal-local partnerships in salmon and steelhead recovery and conservation. NOAA Fisheries Service has established memoranda of understanding with the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Alaska, and with three tribal commissions on behalf of 28 Indian tribes; Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, Klamath River Inter-Tribal Fish & Water Commission, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. The MOUs establish criteria and processes for funding priority PCSRF projects. The PCSRF has made significant progress in achieving program goals, as indicated in Reports to Congress, workshops and independent reviews (PDF 242KB).

 
PCSRF Data Button Project status and performance information on all PCSRF projects funded to date is on the PCSRF Data System Website. Click on the logo to go to this site to access and query PCSRF project information.

In response to Congressional and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directions, NOAA Fisheries Service has worked with the states and tribal commissions over the past three years to define performance indicators for PCSRF goals for which progress can be measured. A Performance Goals, Measures and Reporting Framework (PDF 694KB) has been developed to assure a performance management structure capable of demonstrating program results.
