The stated purpose of CCA is to advise and educate the public on conservation of marine resources. The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.

CCA Oregon is an advocacy group for salmon, steelhead and other Northwest marine fish species. Our Job is to give a voice to this precious resource that cannot defend itself against harm. Since 2007 CCA Oregon has developed into the most effective and far reaching fish advocacy organization in our state's history.

Hatchery & Wild

https://hatchery-wild-coexist.com/

Hatchery & Wild is a campaign to highlight the importance of fish hatcheries. For decades they have provided important mitigation for the loss of naturally spawned salmon and steelhead. And, absent hatchery supplementation there is a good chance that a lot of very popular fisheries would have ended a long time ago. Hatcheries have been viewed by some as a major contributor to the decline of wild salmon and steelhead populations. That premise has led to significant reductions, and in several cases complete elimination, of hatchery supplementation in hopes of reviving wild fish numbers.

Recent studies show that removing hatchery fish does not, by itself, result in an increase in wild fish. There is no known instance in Oregon or Washington, where the reduction or elimination of hatchery supplementation from watersheds with a historical wild fish population, resulted in an increase in wild fish abundance absent other contributing factors.

It is time to change the anti-hatchery narrative. History — and now sound science — shows hatcheries do not have an adverse impact on wild fish abundance and they are critical to enjoying robust and healthy fisheries.

Save Our Wild Salmon

https://www.wildsalmon.org/about-us/about-us.html

Save Our wild Salmon has two primary program goals:

(1) Securing a durable, lawful, science-based federal plan - Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion - that protects and restores Columbia-Snake salmon and steelhead. Science, law and common sense dictate that this plan must include the removal of the four high-cost, low-value dams on the lower Snake River and expanded spill on the dams that remain, among other measures.

(2) Securing a modernized U.S. – Canada Columbia River Treaty that includes a new third purpose of ecosystem-based function or health of the river – co-equal with the two other original Treaty purposes of energy production and flood management. A modernized Treaty must include and prioritize ecological goals and outcomes, engage Columbia Basin Tribes and First Nations as full partners in the planning and implementation of the Treaty moving forward, and ensure river and watershed resilience in the face of an increasingly disrupted climate.

Long Live The Kings

https://lltk.org/

Our mission is to restore wild salmon and steelhead and support sustainable fishing in the Pacific Northwest. Since our founding in 1986, we have combined innovative field work, pioneering science, broad partnerships, and sophisticated new management tools to help decision-makers advance salmon recovery while balancing the needs of fish and people.

Salmon for the Future

https://salmonforthefuture.com/

Top of mind for our organization is the devastation caused to Washington’s fisheries by commercial gillnets. Simply put: Saving salmon, boosting orca populations mixed with “walls of death” (commonly known as non-treaty gillnets) do not mix.

Puget Sound Anglers (Washington State)

Puget Sound Hatchery Reform

The US Congress established the project in 2000 because it recognized that while hatcheries play a legitimate role in meeting harvest and conservation goals for Pacific Northwest salmon and steelhead, the hatchery system is in need of comprehensive reform. The project’s independent scientific review panel, the Hatchery Scientific Review Group (HSRG), reviewed all state, tribal and federal hatchery programs in the Columbia River Basin (2009) and the Puget Sound and Coastal Washington (2004). For more information, go to:

If you are a recreational angler and support hatchery production and

improvements/increase in hatchery production, then you should be aware

of companies and organizations that are anti-hatchery.
