This report reviews approaches to salmon recovery put forward in four recent documents:

1. the Four Northwest States Governors’ Plan
2. the Northwest Power Planning Council’s Plan
3. the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Biological Opinion, and
4. the Federal Caucus Plan.

These documents in the aggregate provide a federal and state agency roadmap to salmon recovery in the Columbia River Basin for the years 2001-2010. In principle, the reports are in agreement about what measures should be taken in both the short- and long-term, and they are likely to provide the basis for allocating funds for salmon restoration projects.
