Double down for salmon
Your $6.89 Salmon Conservation Stamp funds local habitat restoration, hatchery programs, and science helping salmon.
But while the stamp price has stayed more or less the same over the past 35 years, the threats to salmon and conservation costs have increased a lot. Now’s the time to scale up what works. With your support, we can accelerate efforts to restore fish habitat and help salmon thrive.

stamp dollars hard at work
Did you know that your stamp fee provides grants to streamkeepers, First Nations, schools, and conservation organizations to save and restore Pacific salmon and their habitats?
Here are just a few examples of your stamp dollars hard at work!
Keeping toxins away from salmon
Green infrastructure like rain gardens can filter over 90% of the toxic tire chemical 6PPD-quinone from stormwater before it reaches salmon streams.
Thanks to your $6.89 Salmon Conservation Stamp, PSF granted $22,500 to Peninsula Streams Society this spring to install two new rain gardens in Greater Victoria. This project is empowering local stewards to protect sensitive urban habitat — and the salmon who rely on it.
Restoring habitat for juvenile salmon
Healthy habitat is critical for young salmon to survive — and your stamp dollars are helping restore it.
With a $6,880 grant, PSF is supporting Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) to engage 50+ volunteers in hands-on restoration. The team is removing invasive grass, clearing sediment, and adding large woody debris to improve rearing habitat for salmon in the Alouette Watershed.
Building a new community hatchery
The new Courtenay Fish & Game club hatchery is helping young Chinook and coho survive extreme heat by drawing cold water from Comox Lake. Volunteers are now adding an emergency refuge pond to protect wild salmon during dry spells.
Nearly $100,000 in grants from PSF — made possible by your $6.89 stamp — funded this work.
The Salmon Conservation Stamp, a decal anglers much purchase with a saltwater fishing license, is the primary funding source for the Community Salmon Program. Every year, PSF stewards all proceeds from the stamp on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to support community-led salmon conservation.
