Wild Fish Conservancy Northwest

Over the past several decades, wild fish populations have continued to decline in the face of habitat loss, commercial and sport harvest management, and hatchery practices. Since its inception in 1989, Wild Fish Conservancy Northwest, a Washington-based non-profit, has dedicated itself to the preservation and recovery of native fish ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Through research and advocacy, Wild Fish Conservancy Northwest works to improve habitat and reduce pressure on wild fish through improved land-use, harvest and hatchery management.

Some of the Wild Fish Conservancy Northwest's achievements include:

• Increased transparency around salmon harvest management, fighting against increases in allowable harvest for declining salmon populations

• Strengthened land-use and water-quality regulation

• Improved hatchery management

• Corrected misidentification of thousands of fish-bearing streams in Washington, qualifying them for deserved legal protection
