About

We work to ensure Alaska remains the Salmon State: the home of the largest, healthiest, and most abundant wild salmon runs left on Earth, as well as to the ways of life those wild salmon make possible.

SalmonState is an initiative begun, sustained, and powered by Alaskans. We are housed at the New Venture Fund and collaborate with Alaska nonprofits, Indigenous governments, commercial fishermen, businesses, and others. Each campaign we are a part of is a unique mix of Tribes, grassroots organizations, and stakeholders united to work toward our shared goal of ensuring we all have access to sustainable wild salmon in the future — whether that’s in our nets, in our backyard streams, or on the dinner table.
