Looking to buy fresh Golden State Salmon this season and support your local fishermen and women? GSSA is working to help protect the 23,000 plus jobs in the salmon industry. One of the ways is with this list of local California retailers, fresh off the boat sales, farmers’ markets, and home delivery services where you can buy Golden State Salmon.
The Problem
All the major salmon rivers in California are now dammed, cutting off access to habitat and the natural flows salmon need to survive. Riverbanks, side channels, and floodplains needed to rear salmon have been badly altered.
The Solution
Restoring some semblance of more natural river conditions, with adequate cold water flows, and bank, side channel and floodplain habitat is needed to restore salmon.
Golden State Salmon Rebuilding Plan
GSSA has developed a science based plan that prioritizes restoration of fall run salmon through a series of hatchery, habitat and water flow improvements. Scientists have proven that leaving more water in the rivers is the single best thing to do to help salmon.
GSSA’s Mission
GSSA’s mission is to restore California salmon for their economic, recreational, commercial, environmental, cultural and health values.
GSSA, a Broad Coalition
GSSA is a coalition that includes commercial and recreational salmon fishermen, related businesses, restaurants, a native tribe, environmentalists, elected officials, families, and communities that rely on salmon. GSSA has a board comprised of representatives of this diverse community, which reaches from Oregon to the Central Coast, through the Bay-Delta and up a dozen rivers in the Central Valley.
