Fish for the Future

The Lower Snake River Compensation Plan annually releases 20 million salmon and steelhead smolts into the Lower Snake River for salmon for the future. Many of these young fish are transported in large semi-truck transportation tanks. The time has come to update the logos of these trucks and we need your help! Winners' artwork will be digitized for the next school of fish on the fish transport trucks.
