About State of the Salmon Consortium
Original distribution of genus Oncorhynchus
Established in 2003 as a joint effort of Wild Salmon Center and Ecotrust, State of the Salmon is the only non-governmental program dedicated to evaluating and conserving wild Pacific salmon across their entire range — from headwaters to the open ocean, across seven Pacific Rim nations.
Our work is founded upon a diverse network of agency, academic, conservation and public partnerships and supported by a prestigious international advisory team. Our staff brings a diverse range of science, policy, cartography, and linguistic skills to the task of sharing knowledge across borders.
Our work to catalyze innovations in Pacific salmon conservation and management is informed by a set of evolving goals and principles. We seek to:
- Manage wild salmon populations for abundance, diversity, and the maintenance of ecosystem health.
- Protect and restore enough habitat to maintain healthy wild salmon stocks and ecosystem processes.
- Build institutions, markets, and human communities that support wild salmon and their ecosystems over time.
