Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) is a vital organization that provides scientific research, fisheries management, and other resources to support the protection and restoration of salmon, lamprey, and sturgeon in the Columbia Basin. Working in close coordination with member tribes, CRITFC also focuses on preserving tribal treaty rights and educating the community about the significance of salmon and the environment.

With a mission to ensure a unified voice in fishery resource management, CRITFC plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of the Columbia River ecosystem. Through their efforts, they have made significant strides in stream re-accessibility, riparian area protection, and the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies. Additionally, CRITFC provides services directly to fishers from member tribes, including the operation and maintenance of fishing access sites along the Columbia River.
