Speakers

Tom Derry

Patagonia Ambassador and Subject of Film

Tom Derry is the connection between wild fish and the activists striving to protect them. A lifelong angler and the director of wild steelhead funding for the Native Fish Society, Tom embodies the commitment behind countless conservation efforts all with a single goal: more wild fish. Filmed along the Babine River, Tom captures the essence of angling for wild steelhead and provides insight into what motivates a motivator.

Mark Sherwood

Native Fish Society, Executive Director

Native Fish Society

Local Nonprofit

Native Fish Society exists to cultivate a groundswell of public support needed to revive abundant wild, native fish. They stand for:

Abundant Wild, Native Fish
Reviving the Pacific Northwest’s native fish species to natural abundance.

Healthy, Free-Flowing Rivers
Reconnecting, protecting, and restoring the watersheds that sustain us all.

Sustainable, Climate-Resilient Fisheries
Working with decision-makers to ensure fisheries are data driven, grounded in traditional cultural knowledge, and resilient to a changing climate.

Until all our Pacific Northwest communities enjoy healthy homewaters with abundant wild fish, we’re asking you to take the pledge and join with local voices, take collective action, and advance science-based solutions to the root challenges facing native fish.

We support short-term hatchery programs that serve as life support operations for endangered populations or reintroducing extirpated fish populations, and long-term hatchery programs on lakes and other landlocked waterbodies that lack wild counterparts.

In the long-term, the industrial approach to river and fisheries management that relies on fish hatcheries does not lead to abundant fisheries, nor healthy ecosystems, nor thriving communities.

The best hatchery is a healthy river.
To revive abundant fish and thriving local communities, we need to invest in a model of stewardship that protects and restores healthy, free-flowing rivers and sustainable fisheries management focused on wild fish.
