Northwest Oregon’s coastal salmon runs have been historically strong, and a recent assessment by the North American Salmon Stronghold Partnership identified the Tillamook and Nehalem basins as producers of some of the strongest and most diverse wild runs in Oregon. Wild Salmon Center thus undertook this project to complete a more detailed analysis of areas with the strongest runs and best ecosystem condition, and to examine the degree to which the forested areas with salmon habitat are protected by land management that puts a high emphasis on natural resource conservation.

The North American Salmon Stronghold Partnership is a new initiative, launched in 2008, with formal endorsement of nine Salmon Strongholds. The intent of this Strategic Plan is to provide short-term guidance to support the institutionalization of the Stronghold Partnership, consistent with the long-term vision and Mission of the Partnership.

Resurrection of one of the West Coast’s great salmon rivers leapt ahead this week with a tentative deal to remove four Klamath River dams blocking fish from their richest habitat in southern Oregon.

Plentiful timber, rich wildlife habitat, diverse recreation opportunities — a new management plan adopted seven years ago for the Tillamook and Clatsop state forests promised it all. But it hasn’t worked. The latest evidence: Calculations by the state show it has been logging more trees than the state forests can sustain under the 2001 strategy that also set ambitious goals for improving fish and wildlife habitat.
