"46 projects will reopen migratory pathways, restore access to healthy habitat for #fish, and build #tribal capacity to develop fish passage projects... These projects will help recover endangered #MigratoryFish... In addition to projects led by #tribes, more than half of the remaining projects will directly involve tribes"
