Fisheries-ESA:

Harvest Management

The Harvest Division is responsible for the conduct of treaty reserved fishing rights in order to provide the maximum opportunity for Lummi fishers to secure maximum sustainable harvests according to the best available science, provisions of Title 10, and applicable Federal Law and Court Orders.

Watershed Restoration Division

The mission of the Watershed Restoration Division is to protect and restore salmon habitat which is critical to the restoration of the salmon stocks traditionally relied upon by the Lummi people.  The Division has worked to protect and restore salmon habitat for over ten years, has made extensive progress in implementing habitat restoration projects, and has become a restoration leader in Water Resources Inventory Area 1 (WRIA 1), the Nooksack River Basin.

Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Program

The mission of the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife (TFW) Program is to identify and address threats to salmon stocks listed under the Endangered Species Act within the Nooksack River Basin.  Through participation in the review of actions such as Forest Practice Activities and Road Maintenance and Abandonment Plans, the Program strives to make salmon recovery a reality instead of simply a vision.
