Sound Management: Conserving Pacific Northwest salmon through cooperation

Managing salmon populations in Washington means navigating and understanding complex ecosystems across the Pacific Northwest, requiring partnership and collaboration at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels. WDFW works to balance conservation and recovery of Endangered Species Act-listed salmon stocks while providing fishing opportunity that supports recreational and commercial fisheries critical to the health and economic well-being of Washington.
