The Yakima Herald-Republic reports today’s release of coho salmon into Taneum Creek is the result of six years of work by federal, state, tribal and private partners in a $600,000 project. The 8-foot-high Bruton Ditch dam has been replaced by a channel that mimics natural conditions for fish. The habitat restoration is the work of Kittitas Conservation Trust, the Bureau of Reclamation, and Yakama Nation with fund through a state Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant.
