Welcome to The Newsfeed.

In Washington, 14 species of salmon and steelhead are listed as at risk of extinction under the Endangered Species Act.

This week we're exploring food sourcing in the Pacific Northwest.

The Tulalip Tribes in Snohomish County have a program to restore vital fish passages.

Venice Buhain spoke to their ecologist to find out more.

>> So fish passage projects are so important to get those juvenile and adult fish back to their habitats that they historically had access to.

BUHAIN (VO): Brett Shattuck manages the Tulalip Tribes' Restoration, Acquisition and Stewardship program.

The Tulalip have taken the lead in coordinating public agencies and private landowners to remove culverts and restore streams.

>> So now we're working to replace those crossings that not only convey water but also convey fish both up and downstream.

So that we can both get our transportation that we need to the places we need to go and allow those fish to access their habitats.

VO: The program has managed tens of millions of dollars in projects, receiving money from both government agencies and private grants.

The Tulalip Tribes' work was recently featured by the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission in a short film.

FILM (VO): The salmon, they're struggling.

And we have to continue that fight because we need to be that voice for the salmon.

Our goal is to preserve and protect these salmon resources.

Preserve that for future generations.

BUHAIN (VO): The work aims to maintain the region's salmon harvest which preserves tribal fishing rights and traditions.

FILM (VO): Projects like this and the returning fish that they provide provides that opportunity for, you know, myself, my family, our people to go out and harvest out there on the saltwater and in the river here.

>> Coming up, a WSU professor suggests how food companies are targeting segments of the population to create lifelong customers.

I'm Paris Jackson.
