2025 Tribal Pacific Lamprey Restoration Plan for the Columbia River Basin: Policy Document
Abstract
Lamprey Policy Report – In 2011, the Columbia River treaty tribes completed the Tribal Pacific Lamprey Restoration Plan (2011 TPLRP) for the Columbia River Basin (CRB). The 2011 TPLRP was the first comprehensive restoration guide for Pacific Lamprey and contained a vision, goals and objectives, cultural context, lamprey life history, abundance/status, critical uncertainties/ limiting factors, and prioritized actions needed for recovery.
Nearly fifteen years have passed, approximately one generation for a Pacific lamprey. Funding, staffing and progress continues to remain unacceptably slow. Yes, some progress has been made, but there is still much to do.
