Salmon Recovery Conference

The Salmon Recovery Funding Board’s Salmon Recovery Conference is an important event for sharing information and improving salmon recovery in Washington state.

This year’s conference marks the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Salmon Recovery Act in Washington state. The conference brings together people involved with salmon recovery for information sharing and networking about the 4 H’s of salmon recovery: habitat, hydropower, hatcheries, and harvest. The conference is an opportunity to share best practices, improve recovery plan implementation and review, and learn how others are adapting project designs given new or emerging data and information.

Since 2007, the conference has evolved from examining lessons learned to achieving a broader goal of messaging and problem solving about salmon recovery. The conference began as a place to discuss on-the-ground salmon recovery projects and how to implement them better. The conference has grown, and now also includes recent research and policy discussions about salmon recovery and how salmon recovery benefits human society.
