Rep. Huffman Statement Regarding the State of FY2023 Salmon Fishery Disaster Relief

San Rafael, CA - Today, U.S. Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) released the following statement regarding the state of Fiscal Year 2023 Salmon Fishery Disaster Relief:

"Our California salmon fishermen have been waiting far too long for relief funds for the 2023 salmon disaster. I have just been assured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that it will release the funds by the end of 2024 to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission for dispersal. There is a process the PSMFC - run by the four Pacific states and Idaho - must adhere to before it can issue checks to affected businesses and fishers, and that process will be publicized when it is open. I am encouraging the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission to act as quickly as possible once it receives the funds."
