State of Salmon

The Pacific Salmon Foundation’s State of Salmon 2024 Report is a broad-scale evaluation of the state of all six species of Pacific salmon including steelhead found in British Columbia and the Yukon. This report takes a data-driven approach to summarizing the state and trends in abundance for each species of salmon in nine major salmon-bearing regions.

Declines in Pacific salmon abundance are widespread, with abundance below the long-term average for most species in most regions. A few hopeful exceptions highlight the resilience of salmon and opportunities for recovery.
