Summary

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Raising awareness of the plight of wild salmon, SalmonAID--a coalition of fishermen, conservation organizations, chefs and first nation tribes--presents Salmon Month at Aquarium of the Bay. Salmon Month opens on September 1 and includes storytelling by Native Americans, film screenings, children's activities and a free outdoor festival. The full Salmon Month schedule is available at www.salmonaid.org.

"Twenty-six populations of Pacific salmon are endangered across the west coast," states Jon Rosenfield, SalmonAID president and conservation biologist with The Bay Institute. "These fish are hardy and adaptable. If they cannot thrive in our rivers and estuaries, then we've done some serious damage, and that's bad news for people, too."
