 through the BLM's participation in the Pacific Northwest Salmon 

 Summit, the BLM has become an active participant in restoring 

 spawning, rearing, and wintering habitat on public lands. 



The BLM is also addressing the rising concern for the decline of 

 anadromous fish stocks in the Pacific Northwest through a recent 

 revision and expansion of its strategy plan entitled Anadromous 

 Fish Habitat Management and Funding Strategy for the Columbia and 

 Snake River Basins . Full implementation of this plan will 

 dramatically improve habitat conditions for anadromous fish on 

 BLM lands in the Willamette, Columbia and Snake River Basins. 

 Restoring habitat eventually will increase the productive 

 capability for anadromous salmonids on BLM lands, and if other 

 non habitat related problems are solved, more fish will be 

 available for recreational, commercial and tribal fishing. Major 

 management actions that will be required include stream 

 inventory, watershed plan development, watershed restoration, 

 monitoring and project maintenance. 



In 1992, the BLM received a $560,000 Congressional add-on for 

 work in the Columbia River Basin. Work has begun on modifying 

 grazing and forestry management plans to address stream 

 improvement issues. Over the next 3 years, the BLM will revise 

 175 grazing allotment plans in Oregon, 90 in Washington, and 85 

 in Idaho. Stream improvement work has begun on 57 miles of the
