Below is an impressive list of Salmon Month activities:

September 1 - Go Wild Gala featuring sustainably harvested wild salmon prepared by the Bay Area’s best chefs and a panel discussion on the State of our Salmon.
September 10 - Meet the Fishermen featuring acclaimed writer and Alaska Fisherman, Bill Carter and several of our own local fishing heros.

The SalmonAID coalition brings together more than two dozen conservation, commercial and sportfishing organizations as well as the West Coast’s best restaurants in order to educate the public about wild salmon and the perils they face across our coast. This wide-ranging coalition motivates citizens to take actions that protect our amazing wild salmon and the rivers they call home. Join us during Salmon Month to help support restoration of wild salmon and wild rivers!
