Salmon and People are Counting on You!
Join a growing movement dedicated to saving California’s salmon and the communities that depend on them. Golden State Salmon Association brings together fishermen, conservationists, scientists, business owners, chefs, and others to fight for stronger water policies, restored hatcheries and habitat, and thriving fisheries.
Your membership powers real results, from hatchery improvements to policy wins that protect salmon across California, Oregon, and beyond. And because all memberships and donations are tax-deductible, your support not only strengthens our mission, it gives back in more ways than one.
Together, we can rebuild salmon runs, revive coastal economies, and preserve a vital part of California’s natural heritage.
