The Columbian —
Budget cuts approved by the state Legislature could bring an end to some programs and services provided by Lower Columbia Fish Enhancement Group.
Morgan Morris, executive director of the Vancouver-based nonprofit, said popular programs like Seeds to Salmon and habitat restoration projects could be reduced or eliminated if replacement funds are not found. The cuts were approved by the 2025 Legislature and remained in place after this year’s session, despite lobbying by advocates.
