Help Salmon Today Pacific Northwest wild salmon are a national treasure, and a vital economic resource for rural communities across the Pacific coast. Unfortunately, four costly and out-dated dams on the Snake River are wasting taxpayer dollars and driving wild salmon towards extinction.
A federal judge recently ruled that the Bush Administration's salmon plan for the Columbia & Snake Rivers is illegal - threatening already-endangered salmon with extinction. Across the Pacific coast, salmon are critically important to a healthy environment and healthy economy - fishing and recreation businesses rely on abundant salmon runs and good habitat. Please help advocate for real salmon recovery! With no legal plan in place, Congressional leadership is needed! Ask your Representative to co-sponsor the Salmon Planning Act- HR 1615!

Just as family farms on land are being displaced, small independent fishing businesses cannot survive if the bad practices of industrial food production are replicated in our marine environment. Click here to read the full article and to Take Action!
