Mission Statement
A science and research-based conservation organization headquartered just outside Seattle, Washington, Wild Fish Conservancy is dedicated to the preservation, protection and restoration of the Northwest’s wild fish and the delicate ecosystems in which they live. We’re well known throughout the region for our scientific expertise and research driven policies. Science is the foundation of our work. Our education programs and advocacy initiatives reflect this core value. Science dictates what’s best for wild fish, not political agendas or the goals of special interest groups. Since 1989 Wild Fish Conservancy has made harvest management for listed salmon more transparent, and fought back increases in allowable harvest-impacts for declining populations. We’ve strengthened land-use and water-quality regulation, and raised the bar for acceptable hatchery management.
About This Cause
Wild fish have been an integral part of the economic, cultural, and ecological fabric of the Northwest for thousands of years. Unfortunately, over the last several decades, native fish have declined across the region. Today, many Northwest wild-fish populations face the threat of extinction, and since 1991, the US government has listed 27 populations of native salmon, trout, and char as threatened or endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. Wild Fish Conservancy seeks to improve conditions for all of the Northwest’s wild fish by conducting important research on wild-fish populations and habitats; advocating for better land-use, harvest, and hatchery management; and developing model restoration projects. We are dedicated solely to the needs of wild fish, and don’t represent the interests of any specific user groups.
