Our Values
Backstory
One4Salmon is a unique and dynamic coalition created to unify all who work to protect and restore wild salmon populations and value immediate action. It was born from the understanding of the profound sense of urgency the wild salmon are now facing, the recognition of the extensive knowledge and expertise available, and the acceptance that the approaches of the last few decades have not been sufficient in restoring wild salmon populations.
One4Salmon is not owned or controlled by a single entity. Instead, it is formed by a diverse group of partners and collaborators pooling their collective knowledge, expertise, and skills to set our direction.
Our Coalition
Our coalition includes environmental organizations, scientists, industry leaders, communities, and passionate advocates who share a common goal: ensure healthy and thriving wild salmon populations for future generations. Each partner brings their unique perspective, experience, and skills, creating a fresh stream of ideas and solutions that drive our mission forward.
