Celebrate Salmon returning to Kitsap Stronghold : one man's quest to save the world's wild salmon Malarkey, Tucker Tells the story of Guido Rahr, a passionate and eccentric environmentalist who has single-mindedly dedicated his life to saving the environment, working to preserve the world's last pristine stronghold (habitat) for salmon in Russia's Far East--a landscape of ecological richness and diversity that is rapidly being developed. Salmon migration Hansen, Grace Readers will learn about the migration of five different Pacific salmon species, why and when they migrate, how far they migrate, and where they migrate. Upstream : searching for wild salmon, from river to table Cook, Langdon For some, a salmon evokes the distant wild, thrashing in the jaws of a hungry grizzly bear on TV. For others, it’s the catch of the day on a restaurant menu, or a deep red fillet at the market. For others still, it’s the jolt of adrenaline on a successful fishing trip. Our fascination with these superlative fish is as old as humanity itself. Long a source of sustenance among native peoples, salmon is now more popular than ever. Fish hatcheries and farms serve modern appetites with a domesticated “product”—while wild runs of salmon dwindle across the globe. How has this once-abundant resource reached this point, and what can we do to safeguard wild populations for future generations? Langdon Cook goes in search of the salmon in Upstream, his timely and in-depth look at how these beloved fish have nourished humankind through the ages and why their destiny is so closely tied to our own. Run salmon run Hardy, Robyn Dive into the world of salmon in this lyrically written and beautifully illustrated children's book. Learn about the important life cycle of Pacific Salmon through the thoughtfully written narrative by award-winning children's music duo Bobs & LoLo. Swimmer Gill, Shelley. Recounts the lifetime journey of Swimmer, an Alaskan salmon, and how her life touches that of a native Alaskan girl named Katya, and offers facts about salmon and life in Alaska Come back, salmon : how a group of dedicated kids adopted Pigeon Creek and brought it back to life Cone, Molly Describes the efforts of the Jackson Elementary School in Everett, Washington, to clean up a nearby stream, stock it with salmon, and preserve it as an unpolluted place where the salmon could return to spawn. Salmon Coates, Peter A. Every year, wild salmon travel hundreds of miles upstream. They fight fierce river currents, leap over rocks and small waterfalls, and die by the thousands of starvation, disease, and exposure to cold. Even if they surmount these obstacles, the fish risk becoming dinner for hungry predators like bears, birds, and humans. Guided by a keen sense of smell, the survivors travel to their original hatching grounds, where they breed, spawn, and quickly die. Salmon reveals this amazing life cycle to be just part of the larger story of these fascinating fish. The sockeye mother Huson, Brett D. To the Gitxsan people of Northwestern British Columbia, the sockeye salmon is more than just a source of food. Over its life cycle it nourishes the very land and forests that the Skeena River runs through and where the Gitxsan make their home. The Sockeye Mother explores how the animals, water, soil and seasons are all intertwined.

Life cycle of a-- salmon Royston, Angela Describes the life cycle of sockeye salmon, as they swim from the river in which they were hatched to the sea and back again. The fish in the forest : salmon and the web of life Stokes, M. Dale (Malcolm Dale) Dale Stokes shows how nearly all aspects of this fragile ecosystem--from streambeds to treetops, from sea urchins to orcas to bears, from rain forests to kelp forests--are intimately linked with the biology of the Pacific salmon. Illustrated with 70 stunning color photographs by Doc White, The Fish in the Forest demonstrates how the cycling of nutrients between the ocean and the land, mediated by the life and death of the salmon, is not only key to understanding the landscape of the north Pacific coast, but is also a powerful metaphor for all of life on earth. Shanyaak'utlaax̲ “Shanyaak'utlaax: Salmon Boy?" is a children's story that teaches about respect for nature, animals and culture. After a Tlingit mother gives her son a dried piece of salmon with mold on the end, he flings it away in disgust, committing a taboo. This offends the Salmon People, who sweep him into the water and into their world, where the name him Shanyaak'utlaax or Salmon Boy. A king salmon journey Miller, Debbie S.
