Skokomish Tribe's Enatai Hatchery Provides Fishing Opportunities

Tribal people have always relied on the natural resources of this land. Their personal, cultural, and spiritual survival depended on the ability to fish, hunt and gather the once-bountiful natural resources. Today, treaty-reserved fishing rights enable Tribal people to fish in their usual and accustomed areas. Due to the decline of wild salmon, hatcheries have played an integral role in providing fishing opportunities for treaty fishing Tribes as well as non-Tribal fishers. The Skokomish Tribe protects treaty rights through effective management that will preserve and enhance the natural and cultural resources of the Tribe and will perpetuate the tribal fisheries resources for this and future generations.
