State of the Salmon builds knowledge across borders, linking a greater understanding of Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) to their improved management and conservation around the Pacific Rim.
Our collaborative work began in 2003 with the completion of the first range-wide, map-based assessment for this majestic group of species. Today, we continue to synthesize data and facilitate dialogue in support of sound salmon management and conservation at ever finer geographic scales. A comprehensive set of goals and principles underlies the key initiatives through which we strive to ensure that wild salmon populations thrive long into the future.
