Learn more about California’s salmon and the diverse ways in which humans interact with salmon by exploring the materials below. These efforts strengthen and inform management, conservation, and recovery actions for California salmon and steelhead and are used by the West Coast Region as well as tribal, state, federal partners, other stakeholders and nongovernmental groups. Researchers at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center help us understand the vital ecosystems defined and enriched by Pacific coast salmon. Most migrate from their home streams to the ocean and back again, maturing from egg to adult, sharing the landscape with human activities across the most populous state in the nation.
Depending on where you are, you can encounter Chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout, and coastal cutthroat trout. The California salmonscape ranges from the Smith River in the north to the Tijuana River in the south. We weave science into art, and art into science, to illustrate the continuous flow of seasonal salmon runs and the connections between humans and nature throughout the salmon life cycle.Ĭalifornia Salmonscape is a creative collaboration between artist Ray Troll, the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Pelagic Projects, Sea Studios Foundation and the Salmonid Restoration Federation, with funding from the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. NOAA Fisheries’ California Salmonscape follows Pacific salmon through California’s dynamic habitats, which extend from the ridgetops through valleys, to the coastal wetlands and ocean.
