Salmon over time

v0.7 · built 2026-10-08
WHAT THIS IS
Yearly counts of salmon returning to spawn, by stock, from the state's record.
WHY IT MATTERS
Salmon are the measure the tribes, the counties and the state all count; a falling stock marks a river in trouble.
HOW TO USE IT
Used here as a trend to read. Next, each stock joins its river's room, so a room shows whether its fish are recovering.

1 of 4 natural-origin stocks are down since 2000; 3 are up.

spawners per yeartrend since 2000
5 of 9 panels show totals: no natural-origin series exists for those stocks.

Natural-origin spawners are fish born in the wild that returned to spawn; totals also count hatchery-origin fish spawning in the wild.
