SalmonAid logoThe Institute for Fisheries Resources (IFR) has joined forces with other wild salmon advocates for SalmonAid, a two-day celebration of wild salmon and steelhead. SalmonAid is being organized by a coalition of commercial, tribal, and recreational fishermen, conservation organizations, chefs, restaurants, and scientists. SalmonAid will raise awareness of the plight of west coast salmon populations, the rivers and streams they spawn in, and the many coastal and inland communities that rely on salmon for their livelihoods and survival

Up to 99% of the plants and animals in the San Francisco Bay-Delta System , the most important estuary on the Pacific coast, is made up of established non-native species.

The San Francisco Bay used to be the largest nursery ground for Dungeness crab along the Pacific coast and today we are at 10% of the historic population.

Approximately 90% of the salmon and steelhead runs that still exist along the US Pacific Coast are currently at risk of extinction.

Current land use and watershed protection regulations are not sufficient to prevent salmon extinction.
