Take Action

As consumers with dollars to spend and choices to make we have tremendous power. Wild or farmed salmon is one such choice. Trout Unlimited encourages you to choose wild salmon in your market or restaurant, sustainably caught from well managed, healthy fisheries such as those in southeast Alaska, for example. Taken as a whole, our support of sustainable wild salmon can help leverage government and industry toward the kinds of conservation and management that will keep fishable wild salmon runs fishable, and provide the help to runs like so many in the Pacific Northwest that desperately need it. A dollar spent on wild Pacific salmon is an investment in their future and a vote that they matter to you. A dollar spent on farmed salmon sends a message that you’ll settle for less, and the market incentive for wild salmon conservation erodes. Comprehensive conservation does not discriminate; it helps all wild salmon and steelhead, from the strongest to the very weak.

Meanwhile, there are other things you can do to help support Trout Unlimited’s WhyWild campaign and the salmon and steelhead work we do every day.
