Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Fisheries Resources, Protection of Endangered Species
Mission: Wild Fish Conservancy seeks to improve conditions for all of the Northwest’s wild fish by conducting important research on wild-fish populations and habitats; advocating for better land-use, harvest, and hatchery management; and developing model restoration projects. We are dedicated solely to the needs of wild fish, and don’t represent the interests of any specific user groups.
Results: Since 1989 Wild Fish Conservancy has: ∙ Corrected the misidentification of thousands of fish bearing streams throughout Washington, qualifying those waters for the legal protections they deserve. ∙ Conducted important field research on the status and recovery needs of wild fish populations. ∙ Designed and implemented cutting edge habitat restoration projects. ∙ Fought back increases in allowable harvest of declining wild fish populations ∙ Advocated for acceptable hatchery management practices. ∙ Strengthened land use and water quality regulations. ∙ Provided opportunities for individuals and communities to get meaningfully involved in salmon recovery and environmental protection.
Programs: Wild fish preservation and restoration through habitat restoration and assessments and education.
public education through newsletters, slide presentations around the state, email and phone tree alerts to other environmental groups, education outreach programs.
