Fish are nourishment to the body and spirit.  Anadromous fish in the Walla Walla Valley represent a food source and a promise.  Salmon are a treaty right for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.  Salmon can also serve as a "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to watershed health.  Learn more about the fish in our rivers as they make a 100 year homecoming to the Walla Walla River.  Below are organizations focused on fish recovery, restoration and protection and information/reports highlighting research to-date.
