Salmon Migration: Interactive Map Illustrates Fantastic Journey in Peril Share Donate Salmon Migration: Interactive Map Illustrates Fantastic Journey in Peril Jacqueline Koch Feb 22, 2021 SEATTLE — The release of a media-rich, interactive storymap, Salmon Migration: A journey that connects us all, highlights the iconic wildlife event that brings together diverse Northwest communities, from the Pacific Coast to central Idaho. Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead are essential for Northwest tribes, local economies, and the region’s way of life — yet they’re running out of time. The Salmon Migration storymap is a timely addition to a national conversation ignited by U.S. Representative Mike Simpson’s (R-Idaho) recent proposal for the Columbia Basin Fund, a jobs and infrastructure framework that offers a strong starting point to save the Northwest’s valuable fisheries and river-dependent communities by restoring a free-flowing lower Snake River.
