The importance of healthy salmon populations cannot be overstated. The history, economy, culture, and identity of the Oregon Coast is tied to these species, which is why their well-being is at the core of our mission.
Fish spawning data
ODFW and partners collect spawning data of salmon and steelhead every year since 1998.
Coho Business Plan
Using the best available science, we work with partners to develop strategic plans to maximize habitat restoration benefits to salmon.
Life history diversity
Every salmon lives a unique life, utilizing different parts of the watershed at different life stages. The more life-history pathways are open for salmon, the more resilient the populations will be.
