Skokomish Tribe's Estuary Restoration Supports Salmon Recovery

Tribal people have always relied on the natural resources of this land. Their personal, cultural, and spiritual survival depended on the ability to fish, hunt and gather the once-bountiful natural resources. Today, treaty-reserved fishing rights enable Tribal people to fish in their usual and accustomed areas. Due to the decline of wild salmon, habitat restoration is crucial to the conservation of remaining populations and rebuilding wild salmon stocks for future generations. The Skokomish Tribe is leading the effort to protect and restore the natural habitat of the Skokomish River for the benefit of salmon, people, and all other species that inhabit the region. https://www.skokomish.org/natural-res...
