The Pacific Salmon Foundation was established in 1987 as an independent,
non-governmental, charitable organization to protect, conserve and restore
wild Pacific salmon populations in British Columbia and the Yukon. Today, the
Foundation galvanizes the breadth of vested stakeholders to support Pacific
salmon from stream to estuary to ocean.
