| wild |
Wild salmon spawn in cold rivers and streams, migrate through estuaries (where freshwater meets the ocean), grow up in the ocean, and then return to their home streams to spawn and die. Farm raised salmon do not complete this life cycle -- salmon farms harm the environment and produce fish that are less healthful (and perhaps harmful) for you. |
“Salmon have been a backbone for our west coast economy, culture, and ecology... The future of this valuable natural resource and our communities requires a commitment from our elected leaders to fix our broken rivers and broken watersheds.”
