Unlikely coalition puts on 2-day festival in support of rivers, estuaries, and the beleaguered fishing and tribal communities that rely on wild Pacific salmon
"Oakland, CA -- Gathering under the banner: “Restore Rivers, Recover Salmon, Rebuild Jobs”, a coalition of commercial, recreational and tribal fishermen, conservation organizations, slow food chefs, and scientists are coming together to honor wild Pacific salmon.
“Salmon are a vital part of the economy, ecosystem, and culture up and down the West Coast,” said spokesperson Jessie Raeder, “which is why our many communities are putting aside their differences to jointly call for the drastic measures that are needed so that these fish can thrive once again.”
A festival of food, music, and culture, SalmonAid 2009 features an impressive line-up of musicians, sustainable seafoods, educational forums, demonstrations from First Nation’s tribes, children’s activities, films, speakers, and more."
