The Regional Technical Team (RTT) was formed to provide technical support to salmon recovery efforts in the Snake River Salmon Recovery Region. AS such, the RTT is responsible for determining the technical merits of proposed projects and to review products produced by NOAA Fisheries with regards to salmon recovery. Their input on salmon recovery strategies will be balanced with the input of the public throughout the recovery planning process in the Snake River Region.
