Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission
Check out Public Law 98-138, the Congressional legislation behind the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission. Why a Commission?The need and reason for the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission and its Committees are readily understood given the number of agencies involved, the enormity of the Connecticut River basin, and the complexity of the species.
MembershipThe Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission (Commission) provides guidance to the restoration program on all administrative and biological issues. Established by Congress in 1983 (and reauthorized in 2002 for another 20 years) through the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Compact (Public Law 98-138), it is composed of ten Commissioners, representing four State agencies, the public, and two Federal agencies.

Technical CommitteeCommissioners are advised on scientific and technical issues by a Technical Committee. The Technical Committee is comprised of senior staff biologists from each member agency plus the U.S. Forest Service and the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. The Technical Committee has created several standing sub-committees to address specific issues: Shad Studies, Salmon Studies, Fish Passage, and Genetics. Experts and cooperators from the U.S. Geological Survey/Biological Resources Division, private industry, and conservation groups participate in meetings of these sub-committees and the Technical Committee.
