State Must Fix Hundreds Of Fish-blocking Culverts

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington state is under a federal court order to fix hundreds of barriers built under state roads and highways that block access for migrating salmon and thus interfere with tribes' treaty-backed right to catch fish. [...] it's not clear how the state is going to come up with the estimated $2.4 billion needed to correct more than 825 culverts — concrete pipes or steel structures that allow streams to flow under roads and highways.
