The Columbia River Basin in @EPAnorthwest is a vital and irreplaceable resource, providing a range of benefits from agriculture to electricity for 16 Tribes and 7 states.
@EPAMichaelRegan announced $79 million to reduce toxics in fish and address climate impacts in the basin.
Farmers are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, as they face increasing impacts from extreme weather events.
In Oregon, the megadrought of the past two decades is the driest period on record dating back more than 1,000 years.
