Enforce environmental law to restore salmon and compel dam-operations reform.
Use federal litigation to force enforceable decisions that restore salmon migration and keep treaty-rights obligations real. This strategy backs the work to lift the current stay, build the record under ESA/NEPA, and push toward a court-approved agreement with a real timeline for breaching the four Lower Snake River dams.
