Wild Salmon Rivers

International conservation, science, and advocacy: program includes portions of the kamchatka steelhead project, development of our northern crown initiative, and cross-border scientific and advocacy collaboration in british columbia and ontario, canada. Our science and advocacy staff work with independent and agency scientists and advocates with organizations located in canada and in other countries for the purpose of advancing and exchanging scientific and conservation knowledge about wild steelhead. Data collected through the ksp has provided the basis for over two dozen scientific papers and includes important discoveries about the relationships between anadromous and non-anadromous life histories within and between breeding populations. Through information collected from fly-caught steelhead during the life of the project, our understanding not only of asiatic steelhead but, by extension, their north american relatives and has enabled our organization to advocate for conservation efforts to further wild fish recovery in the united states. Kamchatka steelhead project: the conservation angler and moscow state university continue to be unable to conduct normal field operations. Tca and mgu instead, mounted and anti-poaching operations to protect conservation gains realized over the proceeding 29 years

The osprey: international journal of salmon and steelhead conservation publishes the latest scientific research, policy, news, and opinion about wild pacific salmon and steelhead conservation. Our partnerships make this possible and the conservation angler works with flyfishers international, the fly shop, wild steelhead coalition, world salmon forum, skeenawild, the steelhead society of british columbia, wild fish conservancy and independent scientists and writers. The osprey advocates for the conservation of wild steelhead and salmon stocks and the recovery of depressed populations. The osprey is governed by an editorial and management committee and a council of internationally prominent scientific advisors provides editorial guidance.

Natural resource agency budget advocacy: the states of idaho, washington, and oregon operate multiple salmon and steelhead hatcheries along the columbia and snake rivers which are the product of agreements to trade free-flowing rivers for hatchery fish. These hatcheries represent a failed promise, a promise made before we understood that hatcheries would fail to replace wild steelhead and salmon. Tca is working to reform the mitigation requirements authorized by multiple dams and hatchery-building boondoggles so that wild fish can rebuild the abundance and diversity in multiple watersheds.
