Stronghold Partnership Makes a Splash!
Salmon Stronghold strategy makes front page news.
September 2008 -- The Oregonian featured the North American Salmon Stronghold Partnership highlighting our partner-based strategy to accelerate conservation of the healthiest and most productive wild salmon ecosystems in North America - Salmon Strongholds. The Wild Salmon Center's participation in the Stronghold Partnership is a key component of our mission to identify, understand, and protect the healthiest wild salmon ecosystems of the North Pacific.
The Stronghold Partnership and Wild Salmon Center hosted a two-day watershed tour of the Illinois River Basin in southern Oregon, a stronghold for wild coho, steelhead, and fall Chinook.
The Tour Included:
- Wild Salmon Center and North American Salmon Stronghold Partnership staff
- Local ranchers, landowners and business owners
- Illinois Valley Soil and Water Conservation District staff
- Fish biologists and watershed managers from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Marine Fisheries Service
