On March 29, 2013, United States District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez ordered the State of Washington to replace culverts under State owned roads that block the passage of salmon to critical habitat. The court earlier found those culverts violated tribal treaty rights. This court case has elevated the importance of Fish Passage data for WDFW, other state agencies, cities, counties and non-government organizations (NGO) and is the principle driver for initiating this project proposal.  Additionally, there are new data reporting/tracking requirements in the permanent injunction that the State must comply with.
