How are our salmon doing?

Kwiaht began studying outbound juvenile Chinook salmon at Watmough Bay in 2008, supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers for pulling nets, sorting fish, and measuring and sampling the Chinook salmon we encountered.

Since then we have sampled thousands of juvenile Chinook as well as herring, sand lance and other fish that share the bay and the salmon food web. At fifteen years, it’s the longest-running study of the early marine diet, growth and survival of Puget Sound-origin Chinook salmon: a benchmark for understanding how changing conditions are affecting salmon and their prey.

Find out what we have learned thus far and its implications for the future of Chinook salmon, marine mammals and fisheries - and how you can get involved this summer in salmon research at Watmough Bay -- by joining this special Zoom presentation on Saturday, January 21 at 7:00 pm; use this link:
