Stronghold Conservation Strategies

  1. Create watershed-scale protected areas in North America, Japan, Kamchatka, Sakhalin Island, and the Russian Far East mainland.
  2. Support effective stakeholder-led stewardship of salmon watersheds, such as local watershed councils.
  3. Promote sustainable fisheries and management of wild salmon resources for long-term food and economic security.
