In 2025, your support made history with Washington’s permanent ban on commercial net pen aquaculture in all state marine waters, the launch of the state’s first commercial fish trap fishery on the lower Columbia River in nearly a century, and the advancement of bold litigation that builds on decades of legal actions and victories setting important precedent and ensuring that the best available science guides how we protect imperiled wild fish and their ecosystems.
As we look toward 2026, we have an urgent and rare opportunity to build on this momentum and take on one of our most ambitious initiatives to date: Let Our Salmon Come Home—an international campaign that will unite communities across the West Coast and redefine what’s possible for wild salmon, Southern Resident killer whales, and coastal communities.
From California to Alaska, too many wild salmon are killed in ocean fisheries before they can return home, stalling recovery for generations and harming the communities and ecosystems that depend on them.
Through our international campaign to Let Our Salmon Come Home, we can unite and empower communities across the West Coast to send a clear, unified message to fisheries managers and decision-makers ahead of the 2028 Pacific Salmon Treaty that the reforms needed to let our wild salmon come home can no longer be ignored.
Make your year-end gift today to help us launch this much-needed campaign at the start of the new year and secure a future where wild salmon, orcas, and coastal communities across the West Coast can all thrive.
