Coastal Chinook Symposium

Coast Salmon Partnership is hosting a Coastal Chinook Symposium on October 8 & 9 at the Quinault Beach Resort in Ocean Shores. This two-day, in-person event will bring together technical experts to discuss coordinated recovery efforts, examine the factors contributing to Chinook declines, and explore the full range of available recovery actions. The event starts at 9 a.m. on both days. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
Pacific Marine & Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership (PMEP) Data Tools Virtual Training
November 4 & 5, 2025, 10am – 12pm, (virtual)
This virtual training is designed for restoration practitioners, resource managers, and researchers and will cover the use and utility of PMEP’s online spatial data and web-based mapping tools: Estuary Nearshore Habitat Viewer and Estuary Explorer. Training participants will receive background information on PMEP’s spatial data framework and learn how to navigate and answer conservation planning queries through hands-on exercises. Participants will learn how to download data from the tools and how to upload datasets to the tool for customized mapping needs.
Rewetting Our Waterways: Floodplain Restoration in an Occupied Landscape
November 18, 2025, 9am – 3:30pm, (virtual)
Floodplains are vital to the health of watersheds and we continue to learn about their role in shaping the habitats and ecosystems that Pacific salmon rely on. With our growing understanding of floodplains has come the emergence of different programs and projects designed to protect and restore floodplains for salmon recovery. Like all emerging practices, floodplain restoration has had successes and failures. Intact floodplains are one of the most endangered habitats in our occupied watersheds and the loss of intact and restorable areas is accelerating.
This virtual workshop, co-hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Pacific Salmon Foundation and Washington’s Governor Salmon Recovery Office brings together experts to discuss how floodplain function has been altered by human activity and how those changes have led to cascading effects on our river systems. We will explore approaches and opportunities to restore floodplain benefits to Pacific salmon and aquatic ecosystems in modified landscapes and highlight examples where floodplain restoration strategies are succeeding.
