By utilizing various communications strategies and mechanisms, Initiative partners help provide awareness of the upper Columbia white sturgeon, and the support necessary to bring this ancient fish back from the brink of extinction. After several years of concerted efforts provided by Initiative partners, the upper Columbia white sturgeon population was officially listed as Endangered by the Canadian federal government under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) during 2006.
