WildSalmonCenter

Wild Salmon Center is the leading group working to protect the strongest wild salmon and steelhead rivers across the North Pacific. We work from northern California and the Pacific Northwest, up to British Columbia and Alaska and across to the Western Pacific.

When you protect salmon, you protect a whole watershed and everything in it, including people. The most beautiful and important rivers of the North Pacific all depend on salmon and the nutrients they carry inland from the ocean.

We target salmon strongholds—the richest, strongest salmon rivers in the Pacific—because it’s easier to protect rivers while they are still healthy and thriving. 

If we want salmon around for our kids and grandkids, we have to protect wild salmon—they are among the most adaptable creatures on the planet. Wild-born fish are the best equipped to survive in the face of industrial development, population increases, and climate change.
