Pacific Rivers is proud and pleased to announce that the latest Shane Anderson/Pacific Rivers documentary film is now available for viewing on the PBS website. 

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.

OUR MISSION

The mission of Pacific Rivers is to protect and restore the watershed ecosystems of the West to ensure river health, biodiversity and clean water for present and future generations.
TAKE ACTION
Today, throughout the Snake River Basin, imperiled populations of salmon continue to die at rates far below sustainable replacement levels. Scientists have told us for decades that breaching the four federal dams in the lower Snake River. Congressman Mike Simpson of Idaho has an ambitious proposal to remove the dams and invest billions in energy, irrigation and transportation infrastructure.  But elected leaders in Washington and Oregon must step up too before we lose the fish that define the region’s ecology and cultural heritage. Good work is happening in places like the Lostine, but ultimately, the success of those collaborations depend on restoring a free-flowing Snake River.
