Newly revised data released by Canada at the Pacific Salmon Commission reveal that for more than two decades, ocean fisheries intercepted and killed thousands more Endangered Species Act-listed Puget Sound Chinook each year than previously understood. In some Puget Sound watersheds, revised estimates show that Alaska and British Columbia interception rates exceeded 60% of returning adult Chinook before those fish ever reached Puget Sound waters.

The findings come with cascading consequences for our salmon, orcas, and fishing communities—and raise serious questions about the uncertainty inherent in mixed-stock ocean fisheries management, where weak and recovering salmon populations from rivers coastwide are indiscriminately harvested alongside healthier stocks across vast marine areas.

The timing of the revised estimates is critical. Right now, the United States and Canada are preparing to renegotiate the Pacific Salmon Treaty, the international agreement that governs coastwide salmon harvest and many of the mixed-stock ocean fisheries now facing renewed scrutiny. These renegotiations offer the first chance in a decade or more to redirect salmon management toward a more sustainable and equitable path.

Read our latest blog post to learn more about the revised data and its implications for salmon, Southern Resident orca whales, and fishing families: https://letoursalmoncomehome.org/for-twenty-years-ocean-harvests-of-puget-sound-chinook-were-significantly-underestimated/

Reimagining a better future is the first step to building it. This World Oceans Day, we know exactly what future we're fighting for.

Every year, salmon from waters spanning California to Alaska leave their home rivers to venture into the open ocean to grow, mature, and prepare for the journey back to spawn. But for too many of our salmon, that journey ends in the ocean, where they are indiscriminately intercepted and killed in distant industrial-scale fisheries before they ever have the chance to return to the local rivers, watersheds, and communities that depend on them.

We reimagine a future where unsustainable ocean-based fisheries are reformed and salmon once again return in abundance to their home watersheds across the Pacific Coast—restoring and sustaining ecosystems, communities, and cultures for generations to come. A future where salmon make it home to spawn and give rise to a new generation for recovery, Southern Resident killer whales have access to the prey they need to survive, and fishing families in watersheds across the coast no longer bear the burden of a broken system.

That future is possible. By rising together in a powerful coastwide movement, we can reform ocean fisheries management and Let Our Salmon Come Home.

This World Oceans Day, we invite you to visit our website to learn how you can join the movement and help build the future our salmon, Southern Resident killer whales, and coastal communities deserve. https://letoursalmoncomehome.org/join-the-movement/

Did you know? In Washington’s Nooksack River, up to 67% of all Chinook salmon that could return to local Tribes, communities, and restored spawning grounds each year are intercepted and killed in ocean-based fisheries before reaching Puget Sound waters. This leaves too few fish returning home to the ecosystems and communities that depend on them.

Now is the time to rise up together in a powerful coastwide movement to call on our policymakers to reform ocean fisheries and Let Our Salmon Come Home.

Did you know that an estimated 70% of the salmon reared in the Salmon River are caught in Northern British Columbia and Southeast Alaska?

Join the Let Our Salmon Come Home campaign for "How Do We Put the Salmon Back in the Salmon River?"—a free community event presented by the Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative on Thursday, June 11, at the Otis Fire Hall in Otis, Oregon.

The recent Salmon River Hatchery closure and upcoming Pacific Salmon Treaty renegotiations have significant implications for the region's salmon. Come hear from local salmon experts on what this means for the future of our salmon and the ecosystems and communities that depend on them—and learn how you can be part of the growing coastwide movement working to bring our salmon home.

The movement to Let Our Salmon Come Home is growing—from California to Alaska, individuals, businesses, and organizations are uniting to amplify the call to bring our salmon home to the local watersheds, communities, and ecosystems that depend on them.

But momentum like this is only possible when people raise their voice.

Duncan Berry—a lifelong commercial and recreational fisherman and co-founder of the world's first B Corp seafood company, Fishpeople—recently joined the Let Our Salmon Come Home campaign and shares why this movement matters:

"It was only recently through the Let Our Salmon Come Home campaign that I realized that of the big four H's that harvest—specifically the mixed-stock ocean fishery—was one of our bigger levers to pull. I'm excited about joining forces with people in Alaska, British Columbia, neighbors in Washington, and a lot of the fisher folk here in Oregon to really concentrate on this super important issue, especially in light of what's happening right now with the Pacific Salmon Treaty negotiations." —Duncan Berry

As policymakers renegotiate a critical international salmon fishing treaty ahead of 2028, we have a rare opportunity to reform ocean fishing and forge a sustainable path forward for salmon, orcas, ecosystems, and our coastal communities.

There's never been a more urgent time to take action. Add your voice—and together, let's bring our salmon home: https://letoursalmoncomehome.org/join-the-movement/

Did you know? In Washington Coast watersheds—such as the Hoh, Chehalis, Quillayute, and the Queets—up to 63% of all adult Chinook salmon that could return to local communities, Tribes, and restored spawning grounds each year are intercepted and killed in distant ocean-based salmon fisheries. This leaves too few fish returning home to the watersheds, ecosystems, and communities that depend on them.

Now is the time to rise up together in a powerful coastwide movement to call on our policymakers to curtail industrial ocean fisheries and Let Our Salmon Come Home.

From California to Alaska, unsustainable ocean fishing is pushing salmon populations toward extinction, starving orca whales, and leaving fishing families struggling to cope. While policymakers authorize the overharvest of our salmon in the ocean, coastal communities and economies that have relied upon the return of salmon for generations to millennia are left with little to nothing. The numbers tell part of the story—but the people living it tell the rest.

Voices from the Coast, the official blog of Let Our Salmon Come Home, is where the human story behind this crisis unfolds. Here, you'll find perspectives from across the Pacific Coast, get updates on the movement to bring our salmon home, and learn about the science behind this devastation.

Visit our website now to start reading—and discover how you can share your story. Together, let's amplify the coastwide call to Let Our Salmon Come Home.

After salmon hatch in their home rivers spanning California to Alaska, the vast majority migrate to the North Pacific to forage and grow.

In this shared ocean nursery, salmon from abundant populations swim side-by-side with salmon threatened by extinction. When policymakers authorize industrial-scale fisheries in this ocean nursery, fishers have no means of harvesting selectively. Threatened salmon that commingle with abundant populations are indiscriminately killed—not because of the intentions of fishers, but because of the policies that govern them.

The result: too many of our salmon are killed in ocean fisheries—and too few fish return home from the ocean nursery to spawn and give rise to a new generation for recovery.

Our salmon, Southern Resident killer whales, and coastal communities are running out of time. Join the international movement working to curtail unsustainable ocean fishing and Let Our Salmon Come Home.

The data are clear—our salmon, orcas, and coastal communities are running out of time. As long as ocean fisheries continue to intercept salmon far from home, recovery will remain out of reach. Your gift today can help bring our salmon home.

Over a century of unsustainable fisheries management has led to the coastwide decline of Pacific salmon, and the upcoming Pacific Salmon Treaty renegotiations are our best chance in a decade to fix it. But we can’t do it without you.

Your support today allows us to continue the outreach, advocacy, and organizing that keeps our coalition strong—and ensures that when decision-makers sit down to negotiate the future of our salmon, they cannot ignore the unified voice of communities across the Pacific Coast.

Make your gift today to help secure a thriving future for our salmon, Southern Resident killer whales, and coastal communities for generations to come.
