Ever wonder how scientists track salmon populations? In rivers across the Pacific Rim, ancient fishing structures called "weirs" are helping researchers count, tag, and monitor salmon as they migrate. These carefully designed barriers can temporarily block salmon, like a fence across a river. But weirs also have controlled openings that can be opened to guide fish through, a few at a time. That's when scientists can collect vital data like species, size, age, and health before the fish continue

Every fall, Chinook salmon return from the ocean to the rivers where their lives began, often traveling hundreds of miles upstream to spawn. In the Pacific Northwest, these powerful fish are arriving now in places like the Columbia, Klamath, Rogue, and many wild coastal rivers. Their journey marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of new life. Chinook are important carriers of marine nutrients that nourish forests, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. Their return is a pulse of health through riv

In many rivers across the Pacific Northwest, coho spawning can continue well into February, especially in cooler, rain-fed systems. This extended spawning window spreads risk. By using different parts of a watershed and spawning over a longer period, coho increase the chances that at least some offspring will survive variable winter conditions. Stable flows, cold clean water, and connected habitat during late winter are critical for protecting both spawning adults and the eggs developing beneath

Strongholds are the world’s last, best salmon river systems. They protect our air, our water, our soil, and our spirits. Hundreds of species, and whole ecosystems, thrive when salmon rivers are healthy. The next 10 years will be critical to keep them intact. Wild Salmon Center’s stronghold strategy already protects millions of acres across the North Pacific. And our movement is growing.
