Defend the Rivers
that Feed Us
SALMON BEYOND BORDERS is an Alaska-based campaign working with fishermen, business owners, community leaders, and concerned citizens, alongside Tribes and First Nations on both sides of the Alaska-B.C. border, to defend and sustain our transboundary wild salmon rivers, jobs, and way of life.
The Taku, Stikine, and Unuk river systems total 35,000 square miles of some of the last remaining wild salmon habitat left on Earth. They have been centers of culture, commerce, and biodiversity for thousands of years. Now they are integral to the overall $1 billion annual salmon fishing industry and $1 billion annual visitor industry in Southeast Alaska. The transboundary Taku, Stikine, and Unuk are the rivers that feed Alaskans and Northwest British Columbians — physically, culturally, economically, and spiritually.
