The Annual Report documents progress toward recovery using a systematic, integrated approach. The Recovery
Plan envisions an “All-H” approach for success and information exchange and collaborative solutions across all
management sectors is pertinent to recovery. The systematic tracking of implementation of the Recovery Plan
requires a comprehensive effort to look at progress across management and geographic boundaries. This 2019
Annual Report includes information on environmental changes that occurred in all habitats of Upper Columbia
listed salmon and steelhead and changes to management across hydropower, hatchery, and harvest arenas
affecting these populations. These changes provide context to the recovery efforts being undertaken to restore
and protect habitat in the Upper Columbia and their contribution to the recovery and sustainability of Upper
Columbia spring Chinook and steelhead viability.
