Report: The Future of the Frank and Jeanne Moore Wild Steelhead Sanctuary​
Compiled by Liz Gilliam (Pacific Rivers board member) and Dr. Charley Dewberry, this temperature study of the Steamboat Creek basin is our first major step towards a collective and collaborative effort to create a Management Plan for the Frank and Jeanne Moore SMU (wild steelhead sanctuary). We hope this update answers some questions, provides some new insights, and spurs your interest and advocacy for this unique and critical watershed.

Streaming now:​The Lost Salmon
Pacific Rivers is proud and pleased to announce that the latest Shane Anderson/Pacific Rivers documentary film is now available for viewing on our website via PBS.

The documentary tells the story of why spring Chinook 
salmon are genetically unique from other Chinook runs and makes the compelling case that these fish are at serious risk of extinction along the entire Northwest coast.
