About NOAA FisheriesNOAA Fisheries manages, conserves, and restores marine species and their habitats. Areas of interest

are primarily off the coasts of Washington and Oregon and in rivers and streams in Washington, Oregon,

and Idaho where anadromous species, such as salmon, exist. We provide an integrated approach to

building sustainable fisheries, protecting and recovering endangered species, and sustaining healthy

ecosystems.

About NOAA FisheriesNOAA Fisheries protects marine life and their habitats. In the Northwest, we work mostly off the coasts of Washington and Oregon but we also do research in freshwater rivers and streams, to learn about migratory species like salmon. It is our job to protect and recover endangered species, to keep our ecosystem healthy, and to make sure fisherman have enough fish to catch so that Americans always have fish to eat.
