Why the decline?

Salmon habitat in residential areas is affected by loss of trees and pollutants like pesticides Factors contributing to salmon decline can be grouped into 4 major categories; Habitat, Harvest, Hatcheries, Hydropower (the 4H's). It is important to understand that all 4 factors together have contributed to population declines; each of these causes must be addressed to recover salmon. The people of Puget Sound play a role in each of these factors. (4 of 15)
