Welcome to the LNR Website

Today we face diminishing salmon runs, a growing population, a changing climate, and a lack of clarity about water rights. For years people have tried to find voluntary solutions, with little success. Water rights must be resolved. Adjudication – a formal court judgment of water claims – that is based on the facts – is the only fair way to sort through and resolve water disputes.

Salmon Need Water is a joint project of the Nooksack Tribe and the Lummi Nation. We hope to educate you about water and salmon, inform you of the adjudication process, and inspire you to take action to support a full and fair process to finally resolve the water disputes in Whatcom County. We are neighbors in this beautiful place. We are working to leave salmon in our streams and rivers for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.
