Viewing Wild Salmon
Salmon populations are just a small fraction of their historic numbers due to the damage we have done to the streams, rivers and estuaries that wild salmon need for spawning, growth and migration. Dams, water diversions and other forms of habitat destruction have devastated wild salmon populations all over the Pacific Coast.

Amazingly, there are still some places you can see salmon spawning in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay area during September through March.
Pacific Salmon are a group of fish species that once populated nearly every coastal waterway from southern California to Alaska.
Across the west coast, twenty-six Pacific salmon and steelhead populations are recognized as in danger of extinction.
