Salmon are the quintessential symbol
of Northwest geography and lifestyle. Generations have enjoyed
eating them. Most importantly, salmon are an indicator of the overall
health of our community, economy and environment. However, salmon runs have declined nearly to the
point of extinction. We need to take steps to protect salmon,
water quality, and our quality of life. Recovering salmon will not
only benefit our environment, but in the long run will benefit us and our
economy. (1 of 15)
