The FBRB is seeking facilitation services – RFQQ: Meeting Facilitation for FBRB. Proposals are due April 23, 2021.
The Washington State Legislature established the grant program of the Brian Abbott Fish Barrier Removal Board (FBRB) in 2014 to identify and remove impediments to salmon and steelhead migration. The FBRB evaluates fish passage projects and submits a priority project list to the Governor's Office and the Legislature for funding consideration.
