Northwest Fisheries Science Center

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center is a research facility managed by NOAA dedicated to studying salmon, other fish, and aquatic ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Its scientists work to understand fish populations, their habitats, and how environmental changes and human activities impact them. This research helps inform sustainable management and conservation efforts, ensuring healthy fish populations and ecosystems for future generations. The center also develops new methods for monitoring and protecting marine life, contributing valuable scientific knowledge to support effective fisheries policies and ecosystem health in the region.
