Salmon conservation involves protecting and restoring salmon populations and their habitats to ensure healthy, sustainable numbers. This includes safeguarding spawning streams from pollution, removing barriers like dams that block migration, and managing fisheries to prevent overharvesting. Restoring water quality and ensuring enough clean, cold water is vital for salmon survival. Conservation efforts also involve addressing climate change impacts and educating communities. These measures help maintain ecological balance, support local economies, and preserve salmon for future generations, ensuring they continue to thrive in healthy, functional ecosystems.
