Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to fund the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) to outplant salmon carcasses in the Crooked River on federal land in Idaho County, Idaho to increase marine derived nutrients in the ecosystem. The project would benefit Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed Snake River steelhead and Columbia River bull trout, Chinook and coho salmon, and a suite of resident fishes.
