Declining salmon populations in the Northwest
Got salmon?
The pacific salmon fishing industry is a $3 billion dollar industry that has had a significant cultural and natural impact on the Pacific Northwest and the United States as a whole.
Unfortunately, populations of pacific salmon in the Pacific Northwest have declined significantly in the last century.
This not only poses a significant threat to the local economy, but it has had major repercussions for the ecosystem and the cultures of the native peoples of the Northwest.
Steve Lynch will discuss the impacts of the decline of the salmon and conservation efforts, to save the species.
