The PFRCC is pleased to be one of the sponsors of the State of the Salmon, the second international conference with a theme of "Bringing the Future into Focus." The conference, from February 2-5, 2009 in Vancouver, is dedicated to the conservation of Pacific salmon throughout their native range. Rapidly changing climate, habitat and markets highlight the need for key scientific information and effective management practices from the Pacific Rim salmon nations.
Speakers and attendees from Russia, Japan, Canada, the U.S. and Korea will share knowledge, explore positive solutions and galvanize enthusiasm for collaboration across borders. The 2009 State of the Salmon Conference is a unique international forum to explore how we move from conservation principles to action today, so that wild Pacific salmon might continue their amazing evolutionary course of survival.
The goal is to inspire cooperation among fisheries managers, researchers, indigenous groups, conservation groups and public agencies to accelerate the adoption of best management practices and protection strategies around the north Pacific.
