Spring 2008 Events 'Round the Bay
March 23rd Fin comes to Fish.
Save Our Wild Salmon will
hit the road this spring on a three-month,
cross-country road show designed to raise national awareness for
endangered wild salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest,
culminating in Washington DC at the end of June. It is time for the
American people stand up for salmon and steelhead
and demand Congress create a truly effective salmon plan for the Snake
and Columbia Rivers. This spring, Fin, a 25’ fiberglass salmon will hit
the
road in the Pacific Northwest to travel across the country in a high
visibility Road Show en route to our nation’s capitol. The Road Show is
geared to highlight the plight of endangered Snake River salmon and the
communities, cultures and jobs that depend upon them.
