Impending extinction of salmon, steelhead, and trout (Salmonidae) in California

California contains the southernmost native populations of most Pacific Coast salmon and trout, many of which appear to be rapidly headed toward extinction. A quantitative protocol was developed to determine conservation status of all salmonids native to the state. Results indicate that if present trends continue, 25 (78%) of the 32 taxa native to California will likely be extinct or extirpated within the next century, following the bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), which was extirpated in the 1970s.

Protecting Salmon from Coast to Coast

Representatives from all three regions (Sakhalin Island, Kamchatka, and Khabarovsk) in the Russian Far East met in Portland, Oregon in 2011 for a Russian-Oregon watershed council exchange. The representatives met with state and federal government representatives, tribal representatives, educators, and local conservationists. The purpose of the exchange was to share with the Russians best practices in watershed stewardship and management from established, successful U.S. watershed council models, and in turn the U.S. participants could learn more about the issues facing Russian watershed councils and the methods used for addressing their challenges.

Wild Salmon of the Pacific

Salmon are resilient, but man-made obstacles combined with the threat of climate change may be more than they can handle. In this short film produced in conjunction with the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP), Wild Salmon Center explores what we can do to affect the future of not only salmon, but the future of all the species that depend on them, including our own.
