The Wild Salmon Center (WSC) is an international conservation organization that works to protect wild salmon, steelhead, char, trout and the ecosystems on which these species depend.[2] Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States, the WSC works with communities, businesses, governments, and other non-profits to protect and preserve healthy salmon ecosystems in the North Pacific.[3] WSC programs range in location from Russia (in July 2023, the organization was recognized in Russia as “undesirable” due to harm to economic development),[4] Japan, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon, and California.
