The mighty Columbia and Snake Rivers once produced the most abundant salmon runs on Earth. Today 13 different populations of salmon are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, primarily due to the presence and operation of dams. We have a multi-pronged, basin-wide strategy to help salmon that includes modernization of the Columbia River Treaty, removal of four dams on the lower Snake River, improving water quality and restoring fish passage at the three dams that make up the Hells Canyon Complex.

Spring Chinook Salmon are a Northwest treasure. We must do everything possible to save them. One of the most important things we can do right now is to call for Endangered Species Act protections for all imperiled Pacific Northwest populations of spring-run Chinook salmon, including those of the Washington Coast, the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast, and the Upper Klamath-Trinity River system.
Please write the following officials of the National Marine Fisheries Service to call for Endangered Species Act protections for all imperiled populations of spring-run Chinook salmon:
