State of the Salmon's second international conference, "Bringing the Future into Focus," is the only conference dedicated to the conservation of Pacific salmon throughout their native range. Rapidly changing climate, habitat and markets highlight the need for key scientific information and effective management practices from the Pacific Rim salmon nations.

Join distinguished speakers and attendees from Russia, Japan, Canada, the U.S. and Korea to share knowledge, explore positive solutions and galvanize enthusiasm for collaboration across borders. The 2009 State of the Salmon Conference is a unique international forum to explore how we move from conservation principles to action today, so that wild Pacific salmon might continue their amazing evolutionary course of survival.

Our hope is that this exceptional gathering of fisheries managers, researchers, indigenous groups, conservation groups and public agencies will inspire cooperation to accelerate the adoption of best management practices and protection strategies around the north Pacific.

Join us at the 2009 State of the Salmon Conference and help "bring the future into focus."
