They undertake remarkable migrations, swimming hundreds of miles upstream to their natal rivers for spawning.

Due to their exceptional size, prized flavor, and the challenge they pose to anglers, Chinook salmon have become iconic in sport fishing and are a valuable resource for commercial fisheries. Their conservation is of great importance, as they play a crucial role in the ecosystem and hold cultural significance for Indigenous communities.
