Today, we see a different picture. Pacific salmon are disappearing across the Northwest. More than 100 salmon stocks are gone, and another 200 are in moderate to high danger of exinction. Even the 99 healthy stocks suffer from habitat destruction. Understanding why salmon are disappearing will allow you to better see the connection between people and salmon, and the connection between restoring salmon and protecting our quality of life.
Healthy streams mean clean water and livable communities for people and fish.
We all have the responsibility to restore salmon. Wild salmon do not have a voice, but you do. Please read on to learn more, and take actions to ensure that wild salmon survive and thrive in the Pacific Northwest. Remember that true conservation is action , not position.
