Pacific Salmon Treaty

The Pacific Salmon Treaty is an agreement between the U.S. and Canada to manage and conserve salmon populations that migrate across their shared Pacific coast. It aims to balance the needs of fishermen, communities, and ecosystems by setting rules on how many salmon can be caught and how to protect spawning habitats. The treaty helps ensure sustainable salmon runs, supports fisheries, and minimizes conflicts between countries, promoting healthy and resilient salmon populations for future generations.
