International Year of the Salmon highlights the importance of salmon and how people can help ensure the conservation and restoration of salmon and salmon habitats, especially in light of increasing environmental change. These ideas are reflected in the theme “Salmon and people in a changing world,” with international events planned for 2019 and continuing into 2022.
