Pacific Northwest ecosystems and Coast Salish indigenous culture have been shaped by extraordinary relationships with Pacific Salmon. So much is dependent on these river born, ocean travelers. Birds including Bald Eagles, Herons, Kingfishers, and even Pacific Wrens, as well as most wildlife, insects, and even plants and trees benefit from the nutrients that salmon bring upstream when spawning and dying in the river’s shallows. Learn about Pacific Salmon including their life cycle from tiny egg to 30-lb adults, current status in the Dungeness watershed, river and estuary restoration efforts, and why it matters. Taught by Dungeness River Center Director, Powell Jones.
