Salish Current —
At a recent presentation for the 2025 State of our Watersheds report by the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, chair Ed Johnstone put it simply: “Without the fish, we don’t exist.”
The report, which is updated about every four years, compiles the findings of 20 tribes across Puget Sound. The comprehensive watershed-by-watershed analysis of habitat conditions tells the story of “where we’ve come from, where we are and what must be done to stay the course,” according to the commission.
