Business Community calls for solutions on the Columbia-Snake

Since our founding, Save Our Wild Salmon has worked closely with businesses, both in the Northwest and across the country. Many businesses, from tackle shops to gear manufacturers, fishing guides, and commercial fishermen, all depend directly on salmon for their long-term viability. Other businesses, such as outdoor retailers and whitewater tour companies, share the common need for free-flowing rivers and overall environmental health of wild salmon and ecosystems. Still other businesses value the quality of life in the West, which is rich in salmon heritage.
