"Baker River to break all-time salmon record
​(6/1/17) The fish passage at the Baker River Project is preparing to break an all-time record for the highest number of juvenile salmon released in a single season. So far, more than 1.1 million sockeye and coho salmon smolts have been collected and transported downstream through our trap and haul facilities.

The smolts are one-year-old fish that will be making their journey to the ocean, where they will spend the next two years before returning as adult salmon in 2019.

For more than a decade, our Baker River biologists and fisheries technicians have worked closely with the NOAA Fisheries, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Sauk-Suiattle, Swinomish, and Upper Skagit Indian Tribes to boost the salmon population near our hydroelectric projects. This is only the second time in history that we’ve hit the one-million mark and with two months left in the season, we'll beat the record set in 2014."

“This is an incredible achievement, especially given that in the 1980s the Baker River’s sockeye population was nearly extinct,” said Matt Blanton, Baker River Plant Manager at Puget Sound Energy. “The milestone is a testament to the hard work and the partnerships built around this project.”
