Pacific Salmon Commission

The Pacific Salmon Commission is an organization that manages and conserves wild salmon populations shared by the United States and Canada in the Pacific Northwest. It promotes cooperation between the two countries to ensure salmon sustainably migrate and spawn, balancing ecological health with fishing interests. The Commission coordinates research, monitors salmon runs, and helps develop policies to protect salmon stocks, addressing challenges like overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Its goal is to sustain healthy salmon populations for future generations while supporting local economies and cultural traditions.
