International Wild Salmon Day is June 1st. Join us!

Each time this flag rises, another ally stands with wild salmon – Indigenous guardians and leaders, scientists and stewards, youth and community members.  

Salmon may not make headlines. But they have something stronger: all of us. And this flag? It’s how the world will see their story is being rewritten  together.

One flag to unite us,
a thousand ways to care.

Restoring wild salmon is a shared responsibility. Whether you fish, teach, govern, or just love wild places – salmon need you in this. Let’s raise awareness about the threats they face and drive bold solutions for their recovery.
Together, we can be the reason they’ll keep coming back.​

how it started.

Wild Salmon Day took off in 2019 with leadership from the Government of British Columbia in Canada to celebrate wild salmon and raise awareness about the threats they face. 

In 2025, the Atlantic Salmon Trust and the Atlantic Salmon Federation are joining the Pacific Salmon Foundation and First Nations Fisheries Council of BC to build international momentum for wild salmon recovery. We welcome organizations around the world to come together and celebrate all wild salmon – Pacific and Atlantic.

Special thanks to our local partners and supporters! Your involvement is critical in making this day a success. Thank you for helping us secure a brighter future for wild salmon. It will take all of us to rewrite their story.
