However, salmon in this region are faced with increasing threats, many of which have depressed and extirpated salmon populations throughout the Pacific Northwest. Some of our previous work to understand ecology, status of, and threats to coastal salmon populations is linked below.

Until very recently, wildlife were never mentioned in the decision-making process. Now, a policy exists that states the ecosystem, specifically bears and other…
