We are proud to announce our partnership with the Wild Salmon Center who are the leading non-profit working to protect the strongest wild salmon rivers around the North Pacific. The Wild Salmon Center believes that salmon are a powerful conservation symbol and that when you protect salmon, you are also protecting an entire watershed and everything in it. Including people.
The Wild Salmon Center focuses on protecting wild salmon ecosystems by partnering with communities, governments, small businesses, and other like minded non-profits across the globe. Through these partnerships, the Wild Salmon Center has protected 89 rivers and over 7 million acres of crucial salmon strongholds.

“…Pacific salmon fuel a $3 billion industry, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and local economies and communities around the Pacific Rim. Millions of people around the Pacific rely on salmon as a healthy and reliable source of protein. Native people have always seen the salmon as the life-sustaining centerpiece of their culture, dating back millennia.
In short, salmon are the key to protecting a way of life rooted in the North Pacific environment: protect salmon and you protect forests, food, water, communities, and economies…”
