About the ASPWG: In 2024, the Washington State Legislature adopted SHB 2293, “Studying the effects of avian predation on salmon.” The bill directs the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to establish an Avian Salmon Predation Working Group. This working group is tasked with identifying all avian species that contribute to predation of juvenile salmon at a population level, determining whether such species are adversely impacting the recovery of any threatened or endangered salmon species, and identifying remedies to predation. The working group will report its findings back to the legislature.
