Mission Statement

Wild Salmon Center's mission is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of wild salmon ecosystems across the Pacific Rim for the benefit of wildlife, human communities, and thriving economies.

About This Cause

When we protect wild salmon, we safeguard rivers, forests, communities and economies. Wild salmon occupy a unique ecological niche, supporting scores of other wildlife, from bears to eagles to wolves. All told, wild salmon are one of the most important species to North Pacific marine and freshwater ecosystems and to the communities and economies across the Pacific Rim. Our goal is to protect the North Pacific’s best wild salmon rivers and most robust salmon populations while they are still healthy and strong. If we succeed, we have the potential to sustain more than half of the planet’s wild Pacific salmon. By investing resources in our healthiest watersheds and strongest salmon populations, we’re achieving the greatest conservation returns and helping ensure the long-term survival of the species. To accomplish this goal, the Wild Salmon Center implements forward-looking strategies based on the best science. We partner with local communities, governments, businesses, and other key stakeholders in a shared commitment to good stewardship and long-term sustainability. Together, we can protect the Pacific Rim’s last, best salmon watersheds, healthiest wild salmon runs, and the invaluable benefits they provide.
