Wild Salmon Center
The Wild Salmon Center (WSC) is an international conservation organization that works to protect wild salmon, steelhead, char, trout and the ecosystems on which these species depend.〔Chivers, CJ. The New York Times. "Salmon Find a Surprising..." October 15, 2006〕 Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States, the WSC works with communities, businesses, governments, and other non-profits to protect and preserve healthy salmon ecosystems in the North Pacific.〔"About Us" http://www.wildsalmoncenter.org/about/index.php accessed on: 05/05/11〕 WSC programs range in location from Russia, Japan, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon, and California.
==Background==
The WSC was founded as a non-profit by Pete Soverel and Tom Pero in 1992, and was run entirely by volunteers during its first five years. Originally the WSC received funding for research and conservation through organizing angling trips to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. These expeditions were a joint venture between the WSC and Moscow State University. In 1998, WSC hired Guido Rahr as Executive Director, formerly with the conservation organization Oregon Trout, where he developed an approach to salmon conservation that focused on proactive protection of the strongest remaining populations (stronghold strategy). The organization expanded rapidly between 1999 and 2010, as the budget of the Wild Salmon Center increased from $631,000 to $8 million respectively. A new organization called The Conservation Angler was created in 2003 to take over the ecotourism programs, allowing the WSC to focus solely on science and conservation.〔Stanford: Graduate School of Business. "The Wild Salmon Center" May 28, 2003〕 One of the WSC programs, State of the Salmon, a science-based program created in 2003 in collaboration with Ecotrust, uses data to track the health and trends of wild salmon populations. This data is then analyzed, and used to inform salmon management and conservation throughout the Pacific Rim.〔(State of the Salmon ). accessed on: 05/15/2011〕
