Our Approach

How We Work

Working Together, We Took Back Our Sound

Over the past five years, through the Our Sound, Our Salmon campaign, we've been fighting together tooth and nail in the Courts, the legislature, and through direct appeals to state officials, calling for an end to the dangerous commercial net pen industry that threatens the health of Puget Sound.

Now, thanks to the actions of so many over so many years Washington state has finally taken bold action to prohibit commercial net pen aquaculture in Puget Sound.

Sunsetting Hatcheries

Hatcheries harm wild fish populations through genetic, ecological, infrastructural, disease and fisheries impacts, and play a role in justifying the continued degradation of the natural environment and unsustainable harvest practices.

Guided by the best available science, Wild Fish Conservancy works to restore wild fish habitat, reform fisheries, and transition away from fish hatcheries.
