What is Conservation Salmon?

WELCOME!

CONSERVATION SALMON is unique in recognizing the importance of sustaining salmon fishermen AND salmon habitat. We partner with fishermen-owned cooperatives to ensure the producers receive a fair return AND we dedicate a portion of profits to targeted wild salmon habitat preservation and restoration efforts.

CONSERVATION SALMON partners are natural allies in preserving the pristine habitat critical for the continued survival and abundance of wild salmon. CONSERVATION SALMON provides conservation consumers with direct access to the finest, all natural, sustainable food in the world - wild Alaska salmon and seafood.

Think of CONSERVATION SALMON as your dividend for investing in the protection of  the forests, lakes, streams and seas needed to sustain and restore wild salmon resources.

When you eat CONSERVATION SALMON, receive it as a gift from our fishermen and Nature. Take a few moments to think of where that fish has been -- of the thousands of miles it has swum to bring ocean nutrients to your table -- then eat it with respect, gratitude and enjoyment.

Thanks to concerned consumers like you - and to Alaska's dedicated fishermen - our wild salmon remain abundant - to be enjoyed and celebrated in good conscience and good cheer.
