Lunch Chat: What Salmon Can Teach Us

Hosted by Peter Drekmeier, TRT Policy Director

The Chinook salmon is considered one of the most important keystone species on the West coast. A keystone species is a plant or animal that other species in an ecosystem largely depend on. If the keystone species were eliminated, the ecosystem would change drastically and be at risk of collapse. When a river ecosystem is clean and well-connected, its salmon population is typically healthy and robust.

Join us virtually at this month's lunch chat as Peter Drekmeier shares what you can do to support Salmon-friendly water policy in the Bay Area.

If you're wondering how you can help support environmental protection, advocating is one of the best and most tangible ways of making a difference. When the public speaks, decision-makers listen.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; in fact, it is the only thing that ever has.”
