Jim was not just a colleague or a foundational board member; he was a visionary thinker, a true friend. Over four decades, Jim left an indelible mark on fisheries science and conservation, dedicating himself to safeguarding wild fish ecosystems. His profound vision for a better relationship between salmon, rivers, and communities served as inspiration for people who care about fish worldwide.

We continue to miss Jim every day, but find comfort knowing his spirit lives on in the rivers he cherished and through the ongoing dedication of all who stand on his shoulders to work towards a better future for wild fish and all who depend on them.
