Our mission is to restore California salmon for their economic, recreational, commercial, environmental, cultural and health values.
Join us for the 13th Annual Santa Rosa Dinner, where salmon supporters—fishermen and women, conservationists, and food lovers—gather for one cause: more salmon! Enjoy delicious BBQ, local beer and wine, great prizes, and updates on GSSA’s work to protect salmon. Whether it’s your first time or you’re 13th dinner, don’t miss this fun, high-energy event on June 20th. Invite your friends and family for an unforgettable evening that supports a great cause. Our efforts aren’t just about the fish, they’re about the individuals, families, businesses, and entire ecosystems that depend on healthy salmon populations.
