The intense interest people have in Chinook salmon and their habitat comes with a wide range of opinions. Although there are different ideas on how to recover wild salmon, most agree only a broad array of actions will ensure future generations of orcas and people (along with countless other creatures in terrestrial and marine ecosystems) can continue to depend on the magnificent Chinook.
