The Pacific Salmon Foundation, founded in 1987, is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to making transformational change for the benefit of Pacific salmon at every scale – from the smallest streams to the open ocean.
For us, it’s salmon first, salmon always and we never go it alone. We work with First Nations, Government, ENGO partners, industry, and all salmon supporters to achieve our vision of healthy, sustainable, and naturally diverse populations of Pacific salmon for the benefit of ecosystems and people for generations to come.
In collaboration with all members of the ‘salmon community,’ we work towards our goals of restoring declining populations, preventing future declines, and modernizing the ‘salmon management system.’
We leverage several strategic approaches to reach our goals.
By bringing together diverse representatives, we embolden big ideas and support long-term positive changes for salmon. We operate at the nexus of science and action, raising public awareness and political will for salmon to influence evidence-based decision-making.
Our teams, comprised of leading researchers and biologists, conduct science, publish research, and support Indigenous knowledge. Capable of responding to salmon climate emergencies in real-time and supporting long-term community-led projects, we mobilize resources to invest in thousands of lasting habitat restoration projects and game-changing initiatives.
We create strategic partnerships with diverse partners to raise funds to address growing demands for salmon recovery and resilience.
The Pacific Salmon Foundation is pleased to release a new strategic plan that will guide our work over the next five years, aiming to focus our efforts
in the areas where we can have the greatest impact for salmon.
Informed by our PSF board of directors and staff, as well as external experts and partners, the plan focuses on three collective impact areas: Salmon Resilience, Systems Transformation, and Salmon Recovery.
