Conservation, Preservation, Restoration

The Native Fish Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 whose purpose is to protect and restore native, wild fish and their habitats. Our goal is the conservation, preservation and restoration of wild fish in the Pacific Northwest. We work to establish effective fish management policies based on the latest scientific research, and we encourage the public to get involved in this process.

A Common vision

"All of us in the Northwest, no matter where we live, are bound together by the silver threads of native salmon and steelhead runs. We share a common vision to bring these magnificent animals, our regional icon, back from the brink of extinction. The job is difficult and the obstacles are many and formidable. The salmon and the steelhead need a strong and unwavering advocate now more than at any time of their history. The Native Fish Society fills that need."
- Jim Lichatowich; Author and Native Fish Society Member
