NOAA has partnered with McKenzie River Trust to increase natural floodplain connectivity along Finn Rock Reach in Oregon’s McKenzie River. The project is restoring important habitat for threatened Upper Willamette River Chinook salmon.
The restoration effort is funded in part through Community Project Funding or Congressionally Directed Spending. Through Community Project Funding, members of Congress request funding for specific projects in their communities. In 2022, the project received nearly $1.7 million in Community Project Funding through the NOAA Fisheries Office of Habitat Conservation.
